I asked Grok to define the timeline for growing magic mushrooms

Premium members of “X”, formally known as Twitter, have access to Elon Musk’s new AI research machine called Grok.

You actually get pretty good answers from this AI. It does have a fun mode where you could ask it to roast you. No doubt, it will mess with your ego a little. Imagine Ricky Gervais at the Golden Globes awards a few years ago.

I decided to ask Grok to define the timeline, through all steps, for growing magic mushrooms, and this is what it said:

Growing magic mushrooms can be a rewarding experience, and it typically takes around 1-2 months to complete the entire process. Here's a general timeline for growing magic mushrooms:

1. Preparation (2-3 days):
   • Gather the necessary materials and equipment, such as substrate, spores, and a growing container.
   • Sterilize the materials to minimize contamination.
2. Inoculation (1-2 weeks):
   • Inject the spores into the substrate and wait for the mycelium to grow and colonize the substrate.
3. Incubation (2-4 weeks):
   • Place the colonized substrate in a fruiting chamber and maintain a consistent temperature and humidity.
   • Wait for the mycelium to consolidate and form a thick, white mat.
4. Fruiting (1-2 weeks):
   • Once the mycelium has fully colonized the substrate, expose it to light and fresh air to trigger fruiting.
   • Mushrooms will start to form and grow rapidly.
5. Harvesting (1-2 days):
   • Harvest the mushrooms when the veil under the cap starts to break.
   • Gently twist and pull the mushrooms from the substrate.
6. Drying and Storage (2-3 days):
   • Dry the mushrooms to preserve their potency and prevent spoilage.
   • Store the dried mushrooms in a cool, dark, and dry place.

After completing these steps, you should have a successful harvest of magic mushrooms. Remember to always research and follow local laws and regulations regarding the cultivation and use of magic mushrooms.
