Psilocybe cubensis "Golden Teacher" - Magic Mushrooms


I have always loved magic mushrooms and smoking dope. I love the trip, I love how it makes me feel.  I’m a big fan of 420. I don’t ever want to try acid, crack, coke or any of the other huge drugs out there that will steal your life away. Mushrooms and Marijuana are all natural and don’t have anything crazy in them. The problem with growing weed is the light and power it takes to grow them. Mushrooms on the other hand can grow in little to no light. They also don’t need tons of heat. This seems like a simple choice for me.

Wikipedia has this to say about Psilocybe cubensis “Magic Mushrooms”

“Psilocybe cubensis is a species of psychedelic mushroom whose principal active compounds are psilocybin and psilocin. Commonly called Boomers, Cubes or Gold Caps, it belongs to the Strophariaceae family of fungi and was previously known as Stropharia cubensis.

The species was first described in 1906 as Stropharia cubensis by Franklin Sumner Earle in Cuba.[1] In 1907 it was identified as Naematoloma caerulescens in Tonkin by Narcisse Théophile Patouillard,[2] while in 1941 it was called Stropharia cyanescens by William Alphonso Murrill in Florida.[3] These synonyms were later assigned to the species Psilocybe cubensis.[4][5]

The name Psilocybe is derived from the Greek roots psilos (ψιλος) and kubê (κυβη),[6] and translates as "bald head". Cubensis means "coming from Cuba", and refers to Cuba, the type locality published by Earle.”



The reason for trying to grow these little babies is they have the highest traing on the spore website. I also find that on all the mushroom sites these little guys are the first grow of everything. The third I’ve found is that these little guys are strong little growers and do well for a first grow – and they are cheap – I’ve found them on some websites for $16.00 per syringe of spores. This could work.
