Golden Teachers Magic Mushrooms

Alicia anisopetala (or possibly A. macrodisca), family Malpighiaceae, native to Peru. Known as Black Ayahuasca or Black Caapi. This species came to prominence initially after being sold by a Peruvian vendor called ‘Kiwiboancaya’ as Diplopterys cabrerana seeds. Some internet sites report that this species contains both tryptamines and beta carbolines. Others claim that there have been no beta carbolines found at all. I have used a UV light on both stems and leaves of this species and no fluorenscence was observed (this can indicate harmala alkaloids). The stem and leaves oxidise when cut, turning black, which would lend itself to the indigenous classification of ‘black ayahuasca’ (if this is an accurate indigenous classification at all or merely a marketing tool).

he origin of this magic mushroom strain is not known, thus the name Golden Teacher comes from the admirable golden color of the caps and his so-called teaching capacities.
The first mushroom flush will produce medium sized mushrooms. In later flushes they might grow very large. It is a very robust mushroom with big, massive stems.

The Golden Teacher spores are available in a 10ML spore syringe.
