Golden Teacher Growkit

Golden teacher mushroom

The Golden Teacher mushroom strain is a Psilocybe Cubensis, a species of psychedelic mushroom whose main active elements are Psilocybin and Psilocin.  It’s one of the most common and widespread type of psilocybin mushroom strains.

This strain of Cubensis grows all over the world, from America all the way to Australia.

We recommend starting with this growkit if it’s your first time growing because of the high succes rates and big yields.

Golden teacher’s effects

If it comes to the psychedelic experience, not one trip is the same. The effects depend on different elements, such as the set and setting in which you eat them. Also the intention you set, the people that you’re with, and of course the amount you eat will effect the experience.

That being said, the golden teachers are generally known to cause you to go inwards and provide you with a euphoric, warm, and sometimes visual experience that’s great for therapy sessions. A regular dose, will often be a bit shorter then other strains of P. Cubensis( 2-4 hours) , which makes these mushrooms great for those that are new in the world of psychedelics.

Production of our growkits

The production of our growkits is done in one of Netherlands oldest growing facilities for psilocybin products. Our partners have been sustainable producers of pharma grade psilocybin products for over 25 years. They have an environmental-friendly, circular production and  100% naturally grown products. They have mastered their production over the last few decades, which makes their growkits one of the best in the business.

Harvest

The mushrooms are ready to harvest right before they open their cap completely. The opinions on what the exact best timing is differs but we like think it’s right before they spread their spores. Some people wanna get their mushrooms to grow as big as possible, but the bigger the mushroom doesn’t necessarily mean, you got the best yield. Sometimes the medium sized mushrooms contain a relatively  higher amount of psilocybin. Once the first mushrooms are big enough to harvest there will be some medium and small mushrooms around that could still grow. However, we do recommend harvesting all the flush fully this way you will avoid Grow kit contamination and the second flush will start growing soon after.

Get ready to pick your mushrooms.

wash your hands very well, use hand sanitiser or sterile rubber gloves. Hold the mushroom stem with two fingers, and twist and pull it until it is released from the surface. In order to minimise damaging the mycelium, try to be as gentle as you can be.

Storage

To store, the mushrooms are dried in the air at more or less room temperature (devices for drying food are also suitable; they can also be dried on a grate next to the source of the warmth). Overly long drying and high temperatures should be avoided. When the mushrooms are crispy or cracker-dry, they should be placed into a jar or you can grind them up to powder. After drying your mushrooms properly you can save them for at least a year. Make sure to keep them out of the direct light.

Dosage after drying

Microdose: between 0.08g – 0.4g

Beginners dose: 1g – 2g

Classic psychedelic trip: 2g – 3g

Keep in mind that the psilocybin levels will be different from flush to flush, the effects also depend on different variables such as bodyweight, and metabolism. If you are new to psilocybin mushrooms, (and you want to experiment with anything more then a microdose) always have some guidance in the form of a good friend and make sure the set and setting are pleasant and safe.

Disclaimer

Psilocybin mushrooms are not (yet) fully legalised for recreational or therapeutic usage in some places in the world. However, our growkits do not contain any psilocybin at the moment of sending and are legal to be sold in the Netherlands, therefore can be shipped to all EU countries under the Mutual Recognition of Goods Principle of the European Commission.
