Golden Teacher Mushrooms – $2.82/gram

Golden Teachers are the foremost example of the widely popular psilocybe cubensis strain of magic mushrooms. Other popular variants of this substrain are the B+, the Blue Meanie, Cambodian, and Alcabenzi.

It is difficult for mycological historians to trace the exact origins of the Golden Teacher magic mushroom, but it’s likely that it originates in and around Cuba in Latin America, like many of its other cubensis cousins. What is known is that the Golden Teacher began to enjoy mainstream popularity in the continental United States during the 1980s. During that time, spores passed between hands through many circles both academic and psychedelic. The mushroom became widely loved for its celebrated euphoric effects and the uplifting feelings users often walked away with. It was also widely touted for the comparative ease with which the mushrooms can be grown. The Golden Teacher is known as a highly resilient strain that can be adapted to many different environments.

Throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, the Golden Teachers continued to enjoy widespread popularity. In fact, during those decades when information around mushrooms was less widely known, golden teachers were often the only mushrooms available to those looking for a psychedelic experience. Obviously, the times have come along much since then, however, the Golden Teacher remains one of the most popular mushrooms among users of all experience levels, and with good reason!
