Golden Teacher is a cultivated variety within Psilocybe cubensis. Like other cubensis, it has a cap that flattens as it matures and a hollow, yellowish stem. Its origin is undocumented, but a 2023 genome study named the largest genetic group of cultivated cubensis after it. Individual mushrooms can vary in shape and colour.

MUSHROOM PROFILE
There’s more
to know.
Serving guide
Start low. Potency varies from batch to batch, and even between the cap and stem of one mushroom.
| Threshold | about 0.25 g |
|---|---|
| Light | 0.25–1 g |
| Common | 1–2.5 g |
| Strong | 2.5–5 g |
- If it’s your first time, or a new strain or batch, stay at the light end.
- Grinding and mixing a whole pouch evens out the strength from one serving to the next.
- Weigh servings on a scale that reads to 0.01 g. Don’t eyeball them.
- Strains rated 8/10 or higher on our potency scale: start at the low end of any range.
Timing
- Onset: usually 20–60 minutes; longer after food, and often longer with chocolate.
- Peak: about 1–2 hours in.
- Duration: about 4–6 hours, with after-effects for up to 8.
Don’t take more because you “don’t feel anything yet”. Wait the full 2 hours.
Don’t combine with
- Lithium. In an analysis of online reports, nearly half of people who combined lithium with a classic psychedelic described a seizure.
- MAOIs, including some antidepressants and harmala brews such as ayahuasca. They can change the effects in ways that are hard to predict.
- Antidepressants (SSRIs, SNRIs and others). These can change or blunt effects. Never stop or change a prescribed medication without talking to your doctor.
- Alcohol, cannabis or other substances. They make effects less predictable.
Avoid psilocybin if you
- have, or have a close family history of, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, severe bipolar disorder or borderline personality disorder
- have a heart condition or high blood pressure (psilocybin raises heart rate and blood pressure)
- are pregnant or breastfeeding
- are under 18
Never drive or operate machinery for the rest of the day.
