PF-Tek MycoPots™ Grow Kit
Whether a curious beginner or skilled enthusiast, this kit offers a straightforward and reliable way to easily grow mushrooms at home.

PF-Tek MycoPots² Grow Kit
Our PF-Tek MycoPots Grow Kit is one of the easiest ways to grow mushrooms from a gourmet mushroom spore or liquid culture syringe. Designed as an all-in-one kit, it simplifies the process of growing mushrooms at home, making it accessible even for those with no prior experience.
With a legacy spanning over three decades (developed and first made public by Robert McPherson aka Psylocybe Fanaticus in 1992), PF-Tek continues to be a trusted and proven method for mushroom growers across the globe.
Why Choose the PF-Tek MycoPots Grow Kit?
If you’re new to mushroom cultivation and want a simple, affordable, and fast way to grow mushrooms, this kit is perfect for you.
For more experienced growers looking for more advanced techniques and those able to provide warm environments, we recommend our MonoBox Grow Kit.
If you have a colder environment and don’t mind a longer wait for a larger harvest potential, check out our Cylocybe Special MycoBox Grow Kit.
Key Benefits
- Faster Colonisation: Twice as fast as our PF-Tek MycoBox Grow Kit, making it ideal for quick results.
- Versatile Substrate: Supports the growth of a wide variety of mushroom species.
- Dual Growing Potential: Grow two different species simultaneously. For example, Lion’s Mane in one MycoPot and King Oyster in the other!
- Beginner-Friendly: Perfect grow kit for nervous newbies, offering a simple and straightforward growing experience.
- Inject-thru™ System: Features our signature Inject-thru™ technology for easy, contamination-free inoculation.

Considerations
- Smaller overall harvest potential compared to our larger cultivation kits.
- May be too simple for those seeking a more advanced cultivation experience. For a more immersive learning experience, consider our MonoBox Grow Kit or if you prefer to stick with the PF-Tek MycoPots, try our DIY PF-Tek Grow Kit to gain more knowledge about the whole process.
Enhanced or Regular Version
The Enhanced version upgrades the small grow tents to an XL grow tent and includes 500mL of Vermiculite, allowing you to use the advanced ‘Dunk ‘n’ Roll’ technique.
This method helps restore moisture lost during the first flush, encouraging additional growth and maximizing substrate productivity. The vermiculite layer also maintains a humid microclimate, which mushrooms thrive on.
However, if you prefer to rely on the natural moisture of the substrate and keep things simple, the regular version will still deliver excellent results.
