About
Golden Teacher Chocolate Krinkle is a rare and visually unique variant of Psilocybe cubensis, characterized by its dark, chocolate-hued caps with rippled or crinkled edges, hence the name "Krinkle." This strain combines the deep introspection and calm wisdom of Golden Teacher with a more grounded, earthy, and visually rich experience, making it a favorite for those seeking aesthetic beauty and inner exploration in one journey.
History
Though the exact origin is uncertain, Chocolate Krinkle is believed to be a stabilized phenotype or hybrid derived from Golden Teacher genetics, possibly influenced by other darker-pigmented or mutant expressions. The “Krinkle” in its name refers to its irregular, textured cap morphology, which adds to its visual appeal and collector value.
It’s often sought out by cultivators and psychonauts looking for rarer cubensis expressions with a spiritual and artistic twist.
Overview
This variant typically produces medium to large mushrooms with dark brown to chocolate caps, sometimes with wavy or ruffled edges. Stems are thick and white, bruising blue strongly when handled. Fruiting is consistent, though it may take slightly longer to mature compared to standard GT.
