Growkit Golden Teacher

What is the Golden Teacher growkit used for?

Growkit Golden Teacher is designed for research and observation purposes. You can find this product, as well as many other varieties, in the assortment of our online store Shroom.it. The growkit includes not only the mycelium of this particular variety of Cuban coot, but accessories in the form of a growbag or clips.

Occurrence in nature

Golden Teacher mushrooms were discovered relatively recently, especially compared to other psilocybin mushroom species. The variety was first described by mushroom breeder Steven Pollock in the 1980s. In the wild, they are found mainly in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. These mushrooms prefer a moist environment, so they grow mainly in forests. For Polish collectors and observers, the only way to get acquainted with this variety is to choose the growkit we offer. There is no psilocybin in the mycelium, so its purchase and possession remains fully legal. However, the possibility of obtaining Golden Teacher fruiting bodies has not been legalized in Poland. Growing Psilocybe cubensis is allowed in some countries, but it is worth checking current regulations and laws before doing anything. Growkit available in our online store contains rhizomorphic mycelium.

Physical characteristics

The Golden Teacher variety is characterized by a hat that can reach a diameter of several centimeters. Its shape somewhat resembles a cone or bell. The color of the hat is usually brown-gold, but it can also take on other shades. Its edges are relatively smooth and usually white. The stem of these mushrooms is long, slender and cylindrical, and its length ranges from a few to several centimeters. As a rule, it takes on a brown-gold color, with a characteristically white fibrous covering at the top of the stem. Golden Teacher usually has light brown fan-shaped blades, which are quite thick and clearly separated from each other. Among the peculiarities of this mushroom is white and hard flesh, turning blue when cut or crushed. This variety has dark brown spores with an elliptical shape.

What distinguishes a good Golden Teacher growkit and what are the characteristics of these mushrooms?

Growkit Golden Teacher is often recommended to beginners due to its ease of cultivation, low growth requirements or the possibility of microbiological observations. The kits available in the offer of our online store are distinguished by their high quality, which is influenced by appropriate conditions for their storage. These growkits are perfect for conducting research in your own home, and thus are a treat for those interested in the subject of psychedelic mushrooms with unique properties.

Psylocybin content

The psilocybin contained in the Golden Teacher variety is a natural chemical compound whose properties affect perception, cognitive function and mood by activating serotonin receptors. Users of these mushrooms mention a wide variety of feelings, as the type and intensity of sensations largely remain an individual matter. The content of the psychedelic substance itself is also not insignificant. Psilocybin itself is a tryptamine derivative, and in the environment it is often found together with psilocybin. Psilocybe cubensis mushrooms reproduce through spores, which are their reproductive cells and do not themselves contain psychedelic substances. Growkits available in our online store contain ready-made mycelium, so in their case spores are not needed. Such a solution is invaluable for collectors, as it gives a lot of freedom to make observations under the microscope.
