OK, so the real question - which ones from the list are psilocybin mushrooms?
None. However, it is generally legal to acquire cube[ensis] spores. From there all you need is sterile grains to setup a block, which should be easy if you enjoy rice.

#12For the section on growing your own "special" mushrooms, they have a young guy in a baja hoodie watching the "magic" happen and winking at the camera. Pretty sure they're targeting a very specific audience here. Solid marketing.

The three-picture sequence on the front page, under the heading "Easier than You think; 3 easy steps", the last picture shows the grown mushrooms in a round container, while the device is cuboid throughout the other pictures.

I believe one would get the DIY block and inoculate with psilocybe cubensis

#14Usually when you grow mushrooms you do it in two steps. First you grow out the mycelium on a growth medium such as grains, then you spread out the mycelium and cover it with some casing material, say peat moss, and fruit it under different environmental conditions. A typical mushroom lab has two areas built out (say with plastic sheets) to maintain the conditions for these two phases. Looks like their machine creates…
I had been considering setting up my own small lab to grow and do experiments for ... reasons. I think that this is a great way to get started and should greatly simplify the process.
Back when we did it we had a fruiting tent that was maybe 20 times the volume of that thing. Of course the project took up a whole room in the house.

#15This is a super cool device. Kudos to the founders & company. It's a very cute little mushroom box setup. And it's inspiring that products like this exist, simply because they look great and make me think "Hey, with enough sweat, marketing, and capital I can create a product too!"
To get started, low tech: All ya need is: Pressure cooker, wheat grains, jar, mycelium, a sterile plastic bag or bin, and the right mix of fresh sterile air & humidity.

#16I never tried to grow my own mushrooms, but the hardest part seems to be the actual growing of the mycelium with all the involved cleanliness, usage of needles, autoclaves and so on, right? The actual "container", which keeps the right amount of light and humidity and air circulation, can be build and maintained fairly easily. At least that's why i got from reading a little bit about this.

> Pretty sure they're targeting a very specific audience here.
Probably accurate. Growing edible mushrooms on such a small scale doesn't make any sense given that they are 90% water, and so shrink ~90% when you cook them. This would be like buying an AeroGarden that can grow only a single leaf of parsley.
E.g. it takes at least 10 lbs of lions mane to make crab cakes for two people, whereas I doubt this thing is going to produce more than half a pound.
