Golden Teacher Mushrooms: Origin, Effects & Why They’re Perfect for Beginners

The exact origin of the legendary Golden Teacher mushroom (Psilocybe cubensis) remains a mystery, though it’s widely rumored to have been first discovered in the 1980s growing wild in a pile of dung and straw on a horse ranch in Georgia, USA.
Named for its striking golden-colored caps and reputed “teaching” or insightful properties, Golden Teacher is one of the most iconic and beloved magic mushroom strains worldwide.

Whether you’re exploring psilocybin for personal growth, creativity, or therapeutic purposes, Golden Teacher continues to be a top-recommended strain for both novice and experienced users.

• 0.1 to 0.5 grams of Psilocybe cubensis. Generally known as microdosing, this range is standard during treatments. This shroom dosage isn’t enough to create a “high,” but only minimal acute drug effects that can help long-term.
• 1 gram of Psilocybe cubensis (~10 mg psilocybin). A low shroom dosage, 1 gram, still produces some effects, such as euphoria and the enhancement of all senses
• 1.75 grams of Psilocybe cubensis (~17.5 mg psilocybin). A medium shroom dosage, known to produce some hallucinogenic effects (mostly visual and sensory) and stronger euphoria
• 3.5 grams of Psilocybe cubensis (~35 mg psilocybin). A high shroom dosage with strong visual and sensory distortions, which may bring on mind-blowing effects and synesthesia (blending of the senses)
• 5 grams of Psilocybe cubensis (~50 mg psilocybin). The “heroic shrooms dosage,” 5 grams of shrooms, typically brings the full depth of a mushroom trip experience. The term comes from American ethnobotanist Terrence McKenna, an advocate for the use of psychedelics. Taking this high shroom dosage is extremely rare, with side effects being things like a complete loss of control and losing grasp of reality.
