The Golden Teacher Growbox is a practical and easy-to-use kit that allows for the observation of Psilocybe cubensis. Like other varieties of Cuban psilocybe, they belong to the group of hallucinogenic mushrooms. Their characteristic properties are primarily due to psilocybin. This substance, when consumed, induces a range of psychedelic experiences, affecting the senses, perception, and the understanding of reality and time.
What does the Golden Teacher growbox contain and what are the characteristics of this strain?
The Golden Teacher growbox contains mycelium which does not contain psilocybin, illegal in Poland. Using such a kit is therefore fully compliant with local law. The only condition is not to allow the actual development of fruiting bodies, which already contain prohibited compounds. You can order a growkit with this Psilocybe cubensis strain in our online store Shroom.it. In addition to mycelium, this set also includes necessary accessories in the form of clips and filters. The growbox is perfect for microscopic observations and is also a unique treat for collectors.
Characteristics and occurrence
Golden Teacher is one of the most popular strains of Psilocybe cubensis. Its discovery is attributed to Steven Pollack, who first encountered it in the 1980s. Since then, the occurrence of this strain of Cuban psilocybe has been confirmed multiple times in various parts of the world, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. These mushrooms tend to choose very humid habitats, therefore they mainly occur in forested areas. The presence of psilocybin and other specific substances means that different countries have different regulations regarding the possibility of possessing or selling them. In any case, it's always worth checking the regulations concerning the self-cultivation of Golden Teacher thoroughly.
Recognition and identification
Identifying Golden Teacher can be somewhat challenging because the spores of this strain closely resemble other psilocybin mushrooms. It's slightly easier to recognize mature specimens, which are classified based on specific parameters. These mushrooms belong to the saprotroph group, and thus are heterotrophic organisms that break down organic remains into simple compounds to obtain energy. The mycelium of this strain is rhizomorphic. Its spores are characterized by a brown coloration, while the prints are thick-walled and smooth. These mushrooms also have a bumpy partial veil and a stem with a small ring that darkens as the reproductive cells fall.
Other physical features
Mature mushrooms of this Psilocybe cubensis strain have a conical cap with smooth edges, and its diameter can reach several centimeters. They are also characterized by a slender, cylindrical stem with a fibrous covering in the upper part, usually reaching up to several centimeters in length. These mushrooms have clearly separated, fan-shaped gills of considerable thickness, which attract attention with their light brown coloration. This strain is also characterized by relatively hard, white flesh that turns bluish when crushed or cut. The spores have a standard, elliptical shape.
