Golden Teacher mushroom

Golden Teacher is a magic mushroom strain cultivated from Psilocybe Cubensis. Also known as GT shrooms, Golden Teacher was discovered in the 1980s and has since remained a top choice for many.

Its exact origin is unknown, but it is remarkably recognizable for its elegant appearance – a gold cap with specks of yellow. Golden Teacher mushrooms have a distinct reddish, almost cinnamon color. It also has larger caps and stems when compared to most other Psilocybe Cubensis strains.

Some Golden Teacher’s commonly known effects are enhanced colors, strong emotions, visual distortion, and lightness or giddiness.

Gold cap effects are beyond casual or mere feelings; they are also very popular for the spiritual or shamanic experience.

While the effects persist, you get to learn some important “life lessons,” just like learning from a teacher. The beauty of this sought-after entheogen is that you can tailor the dosage for your specific needs and preference. If you want a moderate or heroic psychedelic experience, you can achieve it all with GT shrooms. And if all you need is just the health benefits with zero hallucinogenic effects, you can get that from microdosing it.

Golden Teacher strain derived its name from the feeling of ego dissolution and gentle enlightenment it offers people. These characteristics are instrumental in connecting the true spirit with nature and creating harmony with the universe. This feeling of ego death is common in most psilocybin-producing mushrooms. Though it is usually short-lived but may contribute to the long-lasting benefits commonly reported by magic mushroom users.

In a 2017 study, published in the journal Neuroscience of Consciousness, researchers attested to its ego-dissolving effects in connecting people to the universe. They found a correlation between the popular “cosmic consciousness” experience and ego-dissolving effects in psilocybin. There is evidence that such mystical states of mind are important for the therapeutic benefits of psychedelics. This explains why people express improved general wellbeing after participating in psilocybin-assisted therapy or shamanic ceremony.

“Through this [ego-death] experience, it may be possible to re-engineer the mechanisms of self, which in turn could change people’s outlook or world view,” says Professor Philip Gerrans, a member of the research team.

Apart from ego-dissolution, magic mushrooms also produce several other benefits, especially for mental wellbeing. This is due to their ability to bind to the brain and activate the serotonin receptor. Also known as the happy hormone, serotonin helps stabilizes our feelings of wellbeing, mood, and happiness. Scientific evidence shows that the impact of psilocybin on the serotonin receptor could result in cognitive flexibility. This could lead to better brain functions.

A 2017 report by John Hopkins says psilocybin could help reduce the risk of neurodegenerative disorders, such as dementia, Parkinson’s, and Alzheimer’s. It could also help overcome tobacco addiction. Some studiesalso report that it helps with mood and anxiety disorders, such as depression, PTSD, and OCD. All these put together make Golden Teacher a worthy option for improving mental wellness.
