Starry Night

Golden Teacher Starry Night is a visually enchanting and emotionally reflective variant of Psilocybe cubensis, inspired by the iconic painting by Vincent van Gogh. Much like the artwork, this strain evokes whirling visual textures, emotional depth, and a sense of cosmic mystery and wonder. It is favored by psychonauts seeking a poetic, artistic, and introspective psychedelic journey.

History

While the name “Starry Night” pays homage to one of history’s most expressive artworks, this cubensis variant is known for producing richly layered visuals, especially with closed eyes, and a gentle but emotionally impactful arc. It likely originates as a hybrid or phenotype refinement within the Golden Teacher lineage, selected for its aesthetic trip qualities, dream-like flow, and emotional accessibility.

A favorite among artists, musicians, and reflective souls, it’s often used in evening settings, creative sessions, or gentle emotional processing.
