Received it 3 weeks from the order date (approximately). Along with my Azure and Cyan spawn bags.

Trip, I was so inspired by your experience that I bought a kit from the Shaman. It arrived on august 23 and I misted it and put in the bag. After three days there was spotty white fuzz on the surface of the vermiculite. I opened the bag and misted again. Today is the ninth day and all I have is one pin about and inch tall. Am I impatient or am I doing something wrong? Directions say not to fan until all pins are inch tall. Advice?

Okay, I think a lot has to do with the following;
How heavy you mist the first time, how far progressed the spawn is under the verm (no way to tell), and the ambient temperature. I kept mine at 74-78 the entire time and used about 2/3 of a cup of water to mist the verm. Be patient, you should get the same results I got.
As a control test, I ordered another one of those kits to see if it produces the same way twice. (Not only that, but those Tazzies are the best shrooms I've ever done!)
Good luck!

Thanks. I keep it in a room with diffused sunlight that stays 76 degrees. I did the initial misting of about five pumps of a bottle sprayer. Wet the edges of the bag too. When I cheecked it today, the one mushroom is about 1 1/2" tall and other tiny pins have appeared on the edges of the tray only. Nothing in the middle. I am leaving the bag open for an hour (per the directions) to do CO2 exchange. Sounds like I should be more patient?

Sounds like you used way to little water to soak the verm... Nothing you can do about it now. Do very little air exchange unless you want MULTIPLE aborts on subsequent flushes. The filter patch works very well all by itself.

sorry if I missed it earlier but did you say that the filter bag came with the kit that you ordered or did you have to purchase it locally?

I'm sorry I neglected to take a picture of the 3rd flush... 2 HUGE shrooms and 12 2" aborts. The 4th is pinning now... About 7 so far. I got a super-dark print from the 2" cap that was on one of the 3rd flush shrooms.

I just hope the newbies recognize the risks associated with importing this type of thing into countries where psilocybe mushrooms are illegal. Packages from the Netherlands are heavily scrutinzed. Even envelopes are opened and searched on a regular basis. Buyer beware!
