Do you know where the saying “to jump out like a jackrabbit” comes from? It means nothing less than surprising someone in a very unexpected way. Literally, however, this proverb refers to a hare (“a jackrabbit” being that lovable gray hare) that suddenly and without warning leaps out of the undergrowth. And since these animals are incredibly fast… It’s easy to surprise them. Why am I starting this article this way? Contrary to appearances, it matters. Jack Rabbit has this particular name for a reason. In this article, I’d like to introduce him to you in more detail. Please read on!
What is Jack Rabbit Growkit?
Growkits are, broadly speaking, packages used to grow mycelium from various mushrooms. In the case of products supplied by Mykolaborian, we are talking about products intended strictly for microscopic observation, not for mushroom production. This is due to the fact that the fruiting bodies of Psilocybe cubensis (and Jack Rabbit belongs to this species) contain prohibited alkaloids.
The presented product is therefore a research resource for home mycologists who want to delve into the secrets of mushrooms, especially their early development phase – the mycelium. This product is one of the most interesting in Mykolaborian’s collection. As a Jack Rabbit strain, it is the result of the work of Chris Aaron. He isolated it from Roger Rabbit – a slightly less popular, but equally interesting strain.
Jack Rabbit is a pure albino. Licensed labs grow its completely white fruiting bodies, which shed colorless spores when mature. Its defining characteristic is its distinctive, short, yet rather thick fruiting bodies with large caps. These caps may curl upwards at the edges over time.
Like many other strains belonging to the Psilocybe cubensis family, Jack Rabbit mushrooms prefer relatively warm conditions. The optimal temperature for them is between 21° and 25° Celsius. This is when the mycelium develops best.
Growkit Jack Rabbit – what sets it apart from other varieties?
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that it has a certain… pleasantness to it. Some even compare it to classic American campfire marshmallows.
However, the most important feature is the one that earned it its name: speed. Jack Rabbit is a true speed demon when it comes to growth. Both the mycelium and the fruiting bodies develop at a lightning pace. You’ll see for yourself how these “roots” uninhibitedly colonize the substrate and literally devour it. They can “jump out like that Philip from the hemp plant” and surprise many a researcher.
In labs where fruiting bodies are obtained, the situation is similar. These mushrooms grow incredibly quickly and rapidly progress from pins to adult specimens. As a result, when conducting home experiments, you need to be careful not to miss the fruiting stage.
How does Jack Rabbit Growkit Full Auto work?
While reading the above text, you’re probably wondering how difficult it can be to operate such a grow kit. After all, such a mushroom must have enormous requirements, right? It’s possible that if it were a traditional “grow kit,” this would be the case. However, with products from Mykolaborian, the situation is completely different. What does this mean?
Whether you’re an experienced mycology enthusiast or just starting your adventure with this passion, our grow kits are a good choice. Including the one described in this article. Why? Because the Jack Rabbit is a maintenance-free grow kit.
You might be wondering what the catch is. After all, many manufacturers describe the care process for such kits. But what do the instructionsJack Rabbit grow kit from Mykolaborian look like? It’s very simple. After receiving the package, you place it in your chosen location and… you can wait for the mycelium to begin working to collect material for testing.
It’s really that simple. You don’t have to do anything except find the right spot. Make sure the package is away from drafts, in a warm place (I listed the optimal temperature range above), and away from potential sources of contamination (e.g., flowers or other plants). And that’s it… that’s it. Remember to be careful and use clean tools when collecting material for testing.
Who is the Jack Rabbit grow kit for?
Generally, Full Auto grow kits are ideal for any mycologist, regardless of their level of experience. They are easy to use and provide a wealth of research material. However, due to the pace of development of Jack Rabbit, it may pose a challenge for those new to growing with grow kits.

I’m sure it will provide you with a lot of satisfaction from your microscopic observations.
