Golden Teacher spores have potent research potential and are incredibly easy to work with, earning them the title of the most popular Psilocybe mushroom spores in America. The Golden Teacher mushroom strain is so popular that it represents 23% of the entire spore market. Our Golden Teacher spore kit was our best seller in 2022, 2023, and 2024!

Important Research Factors
An easy strain for beginners
GT is widely considered a beginner strain of mushroom spores. We recommend the strain for anyone just getting involved with the mycology hobby.
Golden Teacher spores can be grown into full-bodied mushrooms, but it is illegal to do so
These spores have viable genetics that are hypothetically capable of growing into a healthy flush of psychedelic mushrooms. However, we must warn that you should NOT attempt to propagate these spores. These mushrooms will contain a high amount of psilocybin, a federally illegal substance to possess or distribute. You should exclusively use your spores for microscopy!
A well-known strain of Psilocybe cubensis
GT mushrooms are not their own species. They’re a strain of the popular Psilocybe cubensis.
Your spores come in a syringe
Our Golden Teacher spore kit includes a mushroom spore syringe that contains the spores, not on a spore swab or spore print. These spores are suspended in a sterile fluid in the syringe for easy injection onto a microscope slide.
These spores are common, but high-quality pure genetics are rare
This strain isn’t hard to find, but locating them without mixed genetics or contamination can be tricky. That’s why we’ve been committed to providing high-quality spores since 2008. We exclusively handle our spores in an ISO 7 Clean Room to guarantee no risk of contamination.
Produces a high volume of spores
GT mushrooms are known for the high amount of spores released from their basidia, the club-like part of a mushroom that holds and ejects spores. The spores in your Golden Teacher spore syringe are viable, genetically verified, and beautiful to view.
A potent strain
Though these spores can only be used for microscopy, it’s worth noting that a mature GT mushroom has a high concentration of psilocybin, as well as several other active compounds. As these are federally regulated substances prohibited for recreational or medicinal use, do not attempt to propagate these mushrooms.
