Welcome to the Beneschtech Myco Wiki, a free mushroom-cultivation knowledge base hosted by Benesch Tech. It collects the techniques, recipes, and hard-won lessons of growers along the Front Range, written for people cultivating at altitude in dry Colorado air. It began as the wiki of the Pikes Peak Myco League.
Everything here is free to use and share (CC0). If you have a recipe, a tek, or a photo of something going right or wrong, add it.
Ready to grow? Get your supplies from vendors we trust: spores and liquid culture, grain, substrate, grow bags, and complete kits. See where to buy for details.
- Denver Spore Company (Denver): grow bags in abundance, plus kits that come with spores or liquid culture. denversporecompany.com
- PsilocybinMyco (Seattle): clean, isolated genetics in liquid culture, spores, and agar. psilocybinmyco.org

Anyone can edit. A few house conventions keep things tidy:
- Put tutorials under
Tutorials/and recipes or lookup tables underReference/. - Write in your own words. If you learned something from a video or another site, cite it with
<ref>…</ref>after the sentence it supports, and put<references />under a References heading at the bottom. - Add
{{Cultivation}}to the bottom of cultivation pages so readers can find their way around.
