Common Names: Golden Teacher, Golden Tops

About

Golden Teacher KSAT is a selectively bred variant of Psilocybe cubensis known for its spiritual lucidity, balanced effects, and structured, reliable fruiting behavior. The “KSAT” moniker is believed to refer to a specific breeder or hybrid line, potentially denoting a stable, lab-refined version of Golden Teacher designed for clarity and consistent performance.

This strain is appreciated for its ability to provide a clean, introspective, and emotionally neutral experience, making it well-suited for guided journeys, therapy, or contemplative solo use.

History

Although little public documentation exists on KSAT’s exact lineage, it is thought to have emerged from a lineage of Golden Teacher stabilization projects, possibly by independent breeders. The strain was likely named with an acronym format to denote either a regional origin, breeder initials, or project code—often a practice among cultivators aiming to formalize or track unique sub-strains.

KSAT has since been circulated as a reliable, easy-to-grow cubensis with balanced potency and is frequently used in structured psychedelic work.
