Golden Teacher Mushrooms

534 Views

Golden Teacher mushrooms are among the most frequently discussed varieties of Psilocybe cubensis, also known as Cuban psilocybin mushrooms. Their characteristic feature is their specific properties that allow for hallucinogenic effects. These mushrooms contain a compound called psilocybin. This substance affects perception, senses, mood, and the perception of reality in various ways. In Poland, possession of this substance is illegal, however, hobbyists interested in this variety can still legally possess its mycelium in full compliance with the law.

 

What distinguishes Golden Teacher mushrooms?

Golden Teacher mushrooms are currently used mainly for research purposes, for which the grow kits available in our online store Shroom.it prove very helpful. Such a kit contains substrate overgrown with mycelium devoid of prohibited substances, as well as a set of accessories in the form of filters, bags, or clips. The grow kit allows for safe observation of the initial developmental stages of mushrooms. It successfully meets the needs of mycologists and is a fully legal solution, provided that fruiting bodies containing psilocybin are not allowed to develop.

Natural environment

Golden Teacher is a variety identified relatively recently, especially considering the popularity of psilocybin mushrooms. Its discovery is attributed to a certain Steven Pollock, who, as an experienced grower, came across it in the 1980s. These mushrooms mainly occur in highly humid environments, such as forests. In Poland, only the liberty cap is occasionally encountered, which is why for those interested in Golden Teacher, the only way to familiarize themselves with this variety is to obtain a grow kit available in our store. It's worth remembering, however, that mushroom cultivation itself is illegal in Poland. In some countries, possession of psilocybin has been legalized, but one should always be aware of specific regulations and familiarize themselves with them thoroughly before taking any action.

Characteristic features

Golden Teacher is a variety that attracts attention with many specific physical characteristics. These include, for instance, the cap, often reaching a diameter of even several centimeters and having a bell or cone shape. Its color is most often golden-brown, but it can also take on a more neutral white color. These mushrooms are also characterized by a cylindrical and slender stem, which can be several to a dozen centimeters long. Its color is also golden-brown, with a white and characteristically fibrous veil in the upper part. The specific features of these mushrooms also include the presence of fan-shaped, thick, and noticeably separated gills with a light brown shade. The mushrooms also have a hard, white flesh that changes to a bluish color when crushed or cut. The spores of this variety are dark brown and elliptical in shape.
