seeds and plantsThe Golden Teacher Growkit is a special set for observing one of the most popular varieties of the Cuban psilocybe, namely Psilocybe cubensis. This mushroom is classified as psychedelic, meaning it has unique hallucinogenic properties. The psilocybin present in its composition affects the perception of reality, senses, and cognition. The mycelium does not contain this substance, therefore its possession in Poland is legal as long as the development of fruiting bodies is not allowed.

Natural occurrence
Golden Teacher mushrooms were discovered relatively recently, especially compared to other psilocybin mushroom species. This variety was first described by mushroom cultivator Steven Pollock in the 1980s. In nature, they mainly occur in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. These mushrooms prefer humid environments, which is why they primarily grow in forests. For Polish collectors and observers, the only way to get acquainted with this variety is to choose the growkit we offer. The mycelium does not contain psilocybin, so its purchase and possession remains fully legal. However, obtaining Golden Teacher fruiting bodies has not been legalized in Poland. Cultivation of Psilocybe cubensis is allowed in some countries, but before taking any action, it's worth checking current regulations and laws. The growkit available in our online store contains rhizomorphic mycelium.
