You don’t need extra space—in fact, a space the size of a litter box should be enough room.
- You’ll need a small, dark space for inoculation
- For colonization, you’ll need a space with indirect light
- 75-82F is ideal, but you can always get creative to regulate temperature

Kathy, DB 101 Student
Glory Hallelujah I saw that DoubleBlind was offering a class on how to grow mushrooms!
“The entire journey from supplies to harvest was really magical for me. The 9 week class provided step by step instructions by using a written guide and videos which were excellent. I know this sounds like this is too good to be true but it was true and it was amazing how much effort went into this class and how much attention we received. We had a team of highly qualified mycologists.”
Sara, DB 101 Student
Incredible experience and I would highly recommend it. Thank you DoubleBlind!
“I’ve been interested in plant medicines for a while so I thought it would be a cool hands on way for me to explore those topics. I really enjoyed the course, it was super easy to follow. There were helpful experts who were there to answer all my questions”
Fred, DB 101 Student
Thanks to our amazing teachers and our incredible community now I can cultivate my own mushrooms.
“I was already curious about mycology, but DoubleBlind’s How to Grow Mushrooms course came right on time in quarantine. I loved that I could get access to expert knowledge throughout the grow process.”

From Our Founders
“It’s been so humbling and beautiful to watch our mushroom community grow to thousands of people from around the world, who are supporting each other on their mushroom growing journeys. Some of our students have even gone onto become TAs for the other students, and many have graduated saying the course changed their lives and the relationship they have with their medicine and food. This course is really just a part of a movement to take our health back into our own hands, and we’re grateful to be a part of it at DoubleBlind.”
