The history of the Golden Teacher magic mushroom

Some think that a specimen of the Golden Teacher was discovered growing wild in Florida in the mid-1980s. The news traveled rapidly, mostly due to the distinctive golden hats with yellow speckles. Compared to other Psilocybe Cubensis varieties, the Golden Teacher magic mushrooms are quite huge and attractive.

There is a legend that the Golden Teacher was actually a Hawaiian PES that was renamed by a Dutch grower, because: “sometimes right before the veils break when the primordia are at their largest size before becoming mature, the entire shroom can have a golden yellowish hue that disappears as maturity sets in.”

Characteristics of a Golden Teacher grow kit

The first flush of GT’s will often provide medium-sized magic mushrooms, but subsequent flushes will undoubtedly yield bigger and fatter mushrooms. At maturity, the caps have a diameter of around 5 millimeters and are rather flat.

These Golden Teachers do not fruit as quickly as other Psilocybe cubensis, but their ability to thrive in less-than-ideal circumstances makes them a popular among first-time growers.
