Common Names: Golden Teacher, Golden Cap

About

Golden Teacher A+, often referred to simply as A+, is a unique and refined variant of the classic Golden Teacher lineage. It is best known for its leucistic (partially albino) coloration, high psilocybin content, and elevated clarity during the psychedelic experience. The A+ strain is visually beautiful, with pale stems and lightly golden or ivory caps, making it a popular cultivar among both growers and psychonauts.

History

The A+ variant is a selectively bred version of Golden Teacher, isolated for its muted pigmentation and cleaner, more focused experience. It was one of the first strains to bridge the line between classic cubensis effects and modern leucistic aesthetics, offering a lightbody trip with enhanced visual sharpness and a more mentally coherent journey.

Its reliable nature and elegant growth make it a favorite for those seeking spiritual, meditative, or beginner-friendly journeys.

Overview

Produces medium to tall fruits, with pale white to cream stems, light golden caps, and moderate blue bruising. Colonizes moderately fast, and fruits are uniform and easy to harvest.

The trip is smooth and emotionally intelligent, with bright visual geometry, insightful introspection, and a calm, elevating euphoria. Excellent for microdosing, ceremonial use, or as a gentle introduction to psilocybin.
