About

Golden Teacher Blue Moon is a mystical and aesthetically unique variant of Psilocybe cubensis, blending the classic spiritual clarity of Golden Teacher with enhanced visual and introspective effects. The name “Blue Moon” evokes its rarity, dreamlike visual experience, and possible bluish pigmentation observed in certain conditions. Known for producing euphoric, emotionally rich, and surreal trips, this strain is a favorite among explorers of inner consciousness and dreamwork practitioners.

History

Though its exact origin is obscure, the Blue Moon variant appears to be a phenotype or crossbreed that enhances the visual and emotional qualities of Golden Teacher, possibly exhibiting slightly darker bruising, cooler coloration, or unique cap morphologies. The name may also suggest that it produces a “once-in-a-blue-moon” type of experience—uncommon in depth and vividness even among other cubensis strains.

It’s respected for its balance of power and serenity, appealing to both experienced users and advanced intermediates.
