Golden Teacher spore print
This spore print carries the spore deposit of Golden Teacher, one of the best-known name variants within Psilocybe cubensis. The exact origin of the name isn't clearly documented; growers have used the strain for decades, mostly citing its predictable growth on a wide range of substrates. Spores themselves contain no psilocybin or psilocin: they're the fungus's reproductive cells, meant for microscopy, identification, and as starting material for anyone exploring the cultivation side of mycology.
Usage
Work sterile: clean your work surface and hands before opening the packaging. Use a sterile scalpel or inoculation loop to transfer a small amount of spores onto a slide for microscopy, or inoculate your substrate of choice if you're exploring cultivation. A spore print contains no liquid, so you'll need your own sterile tools to transfer the spores.
Storage
Store the print dark, dry and cool, in its sealed original packaging. Moisture and light make spores degrade faster; kept dry and dark, a print usually stays usable for quite a while, though viability gradually drops over months. It's best not to use the print too long after receiving it.
Dutch-Smart also carries spore vials of strains like B+, Argentina and Cambodia in the same category.
Frequently asked questions
Does a spore print contain psilocybin?
No. Spores are the fungus's reproductive cells and contain no psilocybin or psilocin; those compounds only form in the fruiting body (the mushroom) itself.
Can I grow mushrooms straight away with a spore print?
A print is mainly meant for microscopy and identification. Anyone exploring the cultivation side uses the spores as inoculation material on a suitable substrate; keep in mind that this takes extra sterile supplies and some experience.
How long does a spore print stay usable?
Stored dry, dark and cool in its sealed packaging, a print usually stays usable for months, though viability gradually drops over time. It's best not to leave the print too long after receiving it, for the most reliable result.
