About
Golden Teacher B+ is a fusion or crossover between two of the most iconic Psilocybe cubensis strains: Golden Teacher and B+. This variant offers a harmonious blend of spiritual clarity, emotional warmth, and the visual creativity that B+ is known for. The result is a beginner-friendly, resilient strain with reliable potency and a journey marked by euphoric visuals, gentle introspection, and a soothing body high.
History
B+ itself has long been celebrated for its adaptability and large fruiting bodies, while Golden Teacher is revered for its spiritually grounding and insightful nature. The Golden Teacher B+ variant likely emerged from selective breeding between these two strains, either intentionally or through spore hybridization.
It has become popular in both cultivation and consumption communities due to its ease of growth, clean trip profile, and suitability for both new and seasoned psychonauts.
Overview
Golden Teacher B+ mushrooms typically feature wide golden-brown caps, sturdy white stems, and pronounced blue bruising. They tend to produce large flushes and grow well in a range of substrates and climates, making them ideal for home growers.
The psychedelic effects are uplifting, emotionally soothing, and moderately visual, with an emphasis on spiritual and emotional insight rather than overwhelming hallucinations. Great for group ceremonies, personal reflection, or light recreational experiences.

Psilocybin desynchronizes the human brain
Healthy adults were tracked before, during and for 3 weeks after high-dose psilocybin (25 mg) and methylphenidate (40 mg), and brought back for an additional psilocybin dose 6–12 months later. Psilocybin massively disrupted functional connectivity (FC) in cortex and subcortex, acutely causing more than threefold greater change than methylphenidate. These FC changes were driven by brain desynchronization across spatial scales (areal, global), which dissolved network distinctions by reducing correlations within and anticorrelations between networks. Psilocybin-driven FC changes were strongest in the default mode network, which is connected to the anterior hippocampus and is thought to create our sense of space, time and self.
