In September 1991, Psylocybe Fanaticus introduced the PF magic mushroom growing and culture kit in High Times Magazine. It was in the classified section under the heading "Magic Mushrooms". It ran for several years. At first it was in kit form with prepared jars with PF substrate, syringes and instructions. The formula of the PF substrate was not revealed. But in 1992, the kits were made obsolete when the complete PF TEK was published. PF now maintains a 1/3 page ad with a photo and a drawing in High Times monthly.
And now, the PF TEK has spawned out into the web and the spores are proliferating. It is basically a brown rice method with an improved formula by using vermiculite as a base and adding pulverized brown rice. The secret is in the vermiculite. When mycelium is cultured in just grain, the mycelium turns into a mass with little air space. But when grown with vermiculite, the mycelial threads stretch across space. The important thing about the PF TEK, is that it copies nature. Instead of the usual cloning of mushroom tissue and growing mushrooms from that, a mass spore inoculation is employed directly to the fruiting substrate. That way, the genotype remains complete. Senescence (mutating and ceased fruiting) is no longer a problem. The spores insure a never ending succession of fungus, with all the power of the spores reproductive ability intact.

Send a money order or cash for immediate shipment. No customer or mailing lists whatsoever are kept. All the syringe boxes and PF TEK envelope mailers are addressed by hand. As soon as the address is written on the mailer, the order letter is trashed - no records. For discreteness, "Psylocybe Fanaticus" is not used as a return address, instead, just plain "PF" is used.
PF distributes these spores and this document for scientific, and entheogenic research only.
Only mature humans need experiment with these entheogens. Protect the children and don't involve those that aren't wise enough with this sacrament. But excercise your rights as an adult, to explore the other place and bring back knowledge.
