The history of the Golden Teacher magic mushroom

Some believe a specimen of the Golden Teacher was found growing wild in Florida, appearing first during the mid 1980's. The word spread around fast, mainly because of the recognizable golden caps with yellow speckles on it.  Compared to other Psilocybe Cubensis types, the Golden Teacher magic mushrooms are quite large and elegant in its appearance.

There is a story that the Golden Teacher was actually a Hawaiian PES, renamed by an Dutch grower, because:  "sometimes right before the veils break when the primordia are at their largest size before becoming mature, the entire shroom can have a golden yellowish color which vanishes when maturity starts to set in.
