Let’s explore it!

Golden teachers mushrooms, also known as Golden Caps, are steeped in mystery. With elegant caramel-colored stems and caps speckled with yellow, Golden Teachers command a sense of wonder in both name and appearance.

• Dosage Recommendation:

Golden teacher mushrooms and other Psilocybe cubensis mushrooms contain about 90 percent water. As such, it’s essential to comprehend how this can impact dosage calculations. You’ll need less dried material to feel the effects than freshly harvested mushrooms. Also, the contrast of one or two grams might not be great with fresh mushrooms, but it can be considerably more critical with dried.

If you’re examining for accurate dosing, use a scale that can consider in grams and is valid to about 0.5 grams—or about 1/56 ounce if you’re determined to use the imperial system.

• Golden Teachers Dried:

Golden Teachers is similar to most other Psilocybe cubensis, containing approximately 0.6-0.7 percent psilocybin by dry weight. An evident dose, where you begin to feel some psychedelic results, begins around 1 gram dried. Many advocates for larger doses from 3.5-5 grams dried. A good guide for those expecting to microdose is about 10 percent of a vibrant dose or around 0.1-0.5 gram dried. 

• Fresh Golden Teachers:

Fresh Golden teachers mushrooms, you can improve your chosen dosage by 10. As with microdosing fresh Golden Teachers, the same 10 percent dosage reduction advice applies—in this case, you’d want a dose between 1-5 grams. If you prefer a mild psychedelic experience, 10 grams is a useful starting point; however, wilder rides occur in the 35-50 grams range.

How Long Do Golden Teachers Magic Mushrooms Take To Grow?

Like other varieties of Psilocybe mushrooms, the time from spores to mushrooms can rely on the growing technique you prefer and the temperature of your cultivation atmosphere. If you do everything else good, an optimum temperature scope of (24-26.5°C) 75-80°F should give you results in almost 1 to 2 months. 

B+ vs. Golden Teacher Mushrooms:

Golden Teacher mushrooms and B+ are two varieties that share many similarities across various characteristics, including growth requirements and potency. While B+ was earlier rumored to be a cross-breed of the golden teacher and the wood-loving Psilocybe azurescens, this is supposed to be a myth due to the low genetic likelihood of getting these two different species to interbreed. 

Golden Teacher mushrooms are likely the most well-known of these Psilocybe cubensis. Golden teacher strain is a good choice, as most are easy to grow and have similar cultivation requirements (like temperature, humidity, and light).
