Golden Teacher Mushroom 

The golden teacher mushrooms Known as “golden tops” mushrooms, Psilocybe cubensis is a species of mushroom that is a potent source of the hallucinogenic agent psilocybin. P. cubensis are one of the most widely distributed hallucinogenic edible fungus types in the world and one of the most potent.

They are also known as goldies, cubes, cubies, boomers, caps, and gold caps and were first recorded in the scientific literature in 1906 in Cuba. Golden tops are one of the many mushroom types that grow directly on the manure of various ruminants like cows and goats. They often grow in tropical or subtropical environments, like South America, Central America, Mexico, and the southern and southwestern US.

Experienced mycologists can readily and easily identify them. However, misidentification can prove deadly. Golden caps mushrooms get their name from their appearance, light golden color with a dark brown area in the middle of their umbrella caps. The caps will also have a white ring around the edge, ranging in size from less than 2 cm to over 8 cm total. Experienced eyes will notice that they are also smooth, and their bruises turn a dark blue navy color.

Psilocybin is the primary psychoactive compound in golden caps mushrooms. This compound works on the part of the brain responsible for panic and arousal when the user is presented with various stimuli. In contrast to another powerful and popular hallucinogen, LSD, golden tops mushrooms do not always cause the same level of visual hallucinations that LSD does. However, they cause large degrees of perceptual changes, both in the user and the world around them, for hours after ingestion.

Mushrooms Golden Teacher

 Effects of golden teacher mushrooms:

One of the primary risks or dangers associated with abusing golden teacher magic mushrooms is the potential to be sold some misidentified mushrooms. In addition, the inability of most people to differentiate golden tops mushrooms from other potentially deadly look-alikes can cause serious illness or even fatalities. Other dangers are attributed to the potency or dosage of the mushrooms ingested.

The dosage can vary dramatically based on the potency of the golden tops mushrooms. While many people will brew their golden caps into a tea or other prepared drink, others will incorporate the mushrooms into a portion of food to consume. Some users will dry the mushrooms, then encapsulate them for easy dosing, even mixing them into chocolate bars to consume periodically.

The potency of the magic mushrooms golden teacher will fluctuate significantly and is rooted in several factors. The factors that determine the potency of the golden tops mushrooms include the specific variety or subspecies of mushroom, where it was grown or cultivated, the growing conditions, how mature they were at harvest and how they were then stored, and whether they are being consumed fresh or in a dried state.

If dried golden caps mushrooms are used, the concentration of psilocybin is increased considerably. This can lead to some problems related to dosing since the concentrations in dried mushrooms will be around ten times the concentration found in fresh golden caps mushrooms. The effects can be similar to LSD, though still unique and specific to mushrooms.

These effects can include:

• Feelings of peacefulness and unity with their surroundings
• Intensely spiritual experiences and awakenings
• Rapid mood changes
• Derealization, or a consistent feeling of detachment or disconnection from the current reality
• Depersonalization, or a sense of being disengaged from the people around them
