About

Golden Teacher Corumbá is a regionally named variant of Psilocybe cubensis, inspired by or isolated in the Corumbá region of Brazil. This strain maintains the introspective and calming effects of Golden Teacher while embracing a more earthy, euphoric, and tropical profile common to Brazilian cubensis. It’s valued for its emotional warmth, grounded visuals, and suitability for nature-immersive experiences.

History
