Cambodian Grow Kit 1200 ml – GetMagic® | Magic Mushroom Kit

The Cambodian Psilocybe cubensis was discovered in the early 1990s by ethnomycologist John W. Allen near the ancient Angkor Wat temple complex in Siem Reap, Cambodia. It quickly became a staple of home cultivation worldwide.

Cambodian mushrooms produce caramel to golden-brown caps (20–50 mm) on medium-length stems (40–100 mm). The strain is known for its rapid colonisation and strong resistance to contamination — it can outpace competing moulds even under less-than-ideal conditions.

The experience is typically described as clean and energising: uplifting, moderately visual, with social and creative qualities. Cambodian is often regarded as one of the fastest-growing strains available, making it a favourite among growers who prefer shorter cultivation times.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the Cambodian colonise so quickly?

The Cambodian strain evolved in the warm, humid climate of Southeast Asia, where it had to compete with tropical moulds. This natural selection resulted in exceptionally vigorous mycelial growth — full colonisation is often observed sooner than with other strains in the GetMagic® range.

What yield can I expect from this 1200 ml kit?

A 1200 ml standard kit typically produces 200–400 g of fresh mushrooms across multiple flushes. Yield depends on temperature, humidity and hygiene during cultivation. Looking for a larger harvest? Cambodian is also available as a 2100 ml XL kit.

How does Cambodian compare with the Thai strain?

Both originate from Southeast Asia and share a clean, energetic character. Cambodian is generally considered faster to colonise and more resistant to contamination, making it somewhat easier to cultivate. Thai varieties tend to produce taller, more slender fruiting bodies.
