Some History And Facts In Identifying The Golden Teacher Mushrooms Strain

There’s still some mystery when it comes to the origin of this P. Cubensis strain, as with many mushrooms. Although discoveries about mushrooms and their use are still being explored today, there’s still much to learn.

Golden Teacher mushrooms strain is easily recognized with their golden caps speckled with yellow. They’re elegant and quite large in comparison to the other types of P. Cubensis. Golden Teacher mushrooms have a distinct appearance, with a long and winding, hollow stipe that is quite thicker towards the base. As one would expect, they often have a more elegant appearance compared to their cousins.

The fruiting bodies have a golden or yellowish-colored center and a partially covered cap which is often larger—around 3 inches in diameter. This particular strain also has gills that may vary between white and purplish brown, making it distinctive.

As with any mushroom, it’s essential to correctly identify a strain before attempting to collect spores, keep, or consume! When misidentified, they could be mistaken for poisonous fungi. Golden Teacher mushrooms fruit less compared to other strains, but they also easily grow under optimal conditions.

According to a Golden Teacher mushrooms strain review, the distinctive feature of a yellow or gold cap is what’s propelled its identification throughout the years. This species was first described in 1906 by Franklin, found in Cuba, and named Stropharia Cubensis. Almost one year later, Narcisse Theophile identified it as Naematoloma in Tonkin, Saskatchewan.

Almost four decades later, in the state of Florida, it was then named Stropharia Cyanescens in 1941 by William Alphonso Murrill. Finally, in the mid-1980s (almost another four decades later), it was given its current name and classification of Psilocybe Cubensis.

In better efforts to understand the origin of its name, each part of the scientific name of the Golden Teacher mushrooms strain has meaning.

• Psilocybe is derived from the Greek word Psilos which means a thing with a bare head.
• Cubensis refers to its origin directly from Cuba.

Interestingly enough, a common psilocybe cubensis mushroom strain includes Penis Envy mushrooms, named so due to their shape. This confirms how vital it is to identify a particular mushroom as Penis Envy is significantly more potent.
