With a mushroom cultivation culture or liquid culture, you can grow your own mushrooms. Even in countries where mushroom mycelium is not allowed. It is simple. Empty the convenient dosing syringe completely into the included tray with sterile substrate.
Important: whatever you do, do not ingest the liquid. In any way. A liquid culture syringe is meant for cultivation or microscopy.
This bundle contains everything you need:
- Tray with 1200 cc sterile, uncolonized substrate
- Professional grow bag with air filters
- A sticker to seal the bag
- Ampoule with mushroom culture dissolved in agar (5 ml)
- Sterile syringe
About the Cubensis Mushroom Strain Golden Teacher
The culture in this bundle is the “Golden Teacher” mushroom. These are among the strongest philosophical magic mushrooms. The distinctive golden cap with yellow speckles, skirt, and hollow stem that thickens toward the ground make the Golden Teacher a joy to watch grow and a real conversation piece. Where this strain was first discovered is not known. We do know that the aurumescens variety (Latin for golden leisure) suddenly appeared in the 80s. The cap reaches a diameter of 5 to 8 centimeters.
A trip on Golden Teacher mushrooms is no joke. This specific variety is used worldwide to gain new insights into yourself or the universe. They are not the most recreational mushrooms on the market, but they are among the most used for spiritual purposes. It is not uncommon for aurumescens to offer a feeling of enlightenment and a sense of connection with nature.
Manual and QR Code
If you want to cultivate a Cubensis variety, we recommend scanning the QR code on the packaging. Follow the instructions for grow kits with a sticker with a yellow background (with the name written on it). There you will find a library of detailed explanations, cultivation information, and tips for a safe and responsible trip. This way, you always have the right knowledge at your fingertips.
How to Start Sterile Substrate
This kit contains no fungus, but a mix of powerful nutrients for your own mushrooms. You need to inject it with the included liquid culture syringe, by pushing the needle through the white circle in the lid.
So do not open the lid when doing this, because then the substrate will be guaranteed to become contaminated.
- Needles in a liquid culture set are packaged sterile. Only open them when you are completely ready to inject.
- Disinfect the white circle on the lid of the sterile grow kit by wiping it clean with an alcohol wipe that is supplied with your liquid culture.
- Take out the needle and attach it to the liquid culture syringe.
- Insert the needle at an angle through the white circle on the lid of the sterile grow kit and inject all of the liquid culture into the grow kit.
Tip: The fungus grows fastest if you inject on multiple sides. But do not remove the needle in between. Turn the needle in different directions while it is still inserted and empty the syringe completely.
Storage
Store both the sterile substrate and the syringe in the refrigerator at 3 to 6 °C. This keeps it usable for 3 to 6 months.
After that: Growing Mushrooms
Let the culture grow in the substrate at room temperature. Within a few days, the mycelium will form as bright white microscopic threads. Then shake the tray every day to speed up the process until the whole tray is filled with a white fluff. Once you have a block of substrate that has turned completely white, you can follow the instructions for growing any other cubensis grow kit. So scan the QR code on the box of the grow kit for detailed instructions, or search our website for the Golden Teacher grow kit for a brief manual.
Dosage and Use
A dose of dried mushrooms is between 1 and 5 grams. This strongly depends on the intensity you want. 5 grams of dried mushrooms is an incredibly strong dose that, anecdotally, can feel like looking into the eye of a hurricane. Definitely not for inexperienced psychonauts. Fresh mushrooms are also edible, but for many they are not very tasty. In that case, you need about 10 times as much of these mushrooms for the same effect. Quite a meal. Whatever you do, do not heat mushrooms and do not put them in the freezer. That destroys the active compounds. How to dry them is explained in our blogs.
Always use mushrooms and magic truffles in a safe setting, preferably comfortably at home on the couch with someone with you who knows what to do if you start feeling unwell. Let the trip come over you. Put on some calming music, for example, and enjoy what these special natural products have to show you.
Do not combine with alcohol, medication, or other (smart)drugs.
