AA+

The Golden Teacher A+ is a popular and slightly enhanced variant of the classic Psilocybe cubensis Golden Teacher strain. Known for its bright golden caps, thicker stems, and reliable potency, the A+ version is favored by psychonauts for delivering clear-headed, euphoric, and deeply introspective journeys. It’s also beginner-friendly, offering a balanced experience with moderate visuals and spiritual insight.

History

The original Golden Teacher strain appeared in the 1980s and became one of the most iconic and widely grown P. cubensis varieties. The A+ variant is a refined sub-strain selected for its consistency in potency and appearance, often regarded as slightly more visually elegant and with more robust growth characteristics than standard Golden Teacher.

Its popularity continues to grow among both cultivators and psychonauts due to its ease of cultivation, mild onset, and emotional clarity.

Overview

Golden Teacher A+ mushrooms feature broad, golden caps (2–6 cm) and sturdy, slightly thickened stems that bruise deep blue—indicating strong psilocybin content. Fruiting is abundant, with high resistance to contamination and adaptability to various cultivation methods.

Effects include mild to moderate visuals, a strong sense of connection and empathy, and elevated mood. It’s well-suited for therapeutic use, self-exploration, and spiritual practice, making it one of the most trusted variants for first-timers and seasoned users alike.
