True Albino Teacher is a strain of Psilocybe cubensis known to carry all the qualities of the famous Golden Teacher strain but with albino traits (no pigmentation). This shroom produces pure white fruiting bodies of above-average potency. This strain was developed by the Shroomery user named “Jik Fibs,” who isolated the albino variation when cultivating Golden Teachers. He cloned five albinos that popped up during a grow and cultivated the spores until he produced three successive generations of the variant.  Although it’s a little more demanding than the Golden Teacher strain to grow, with some knowledge of cultivation, several flushes of white shrooms can be produced without much trouble.  The spores are now available from select vendors across the United States and Canada.

Like many other strains of Psilocybe cubensis, there’s little information on the history of True Albino Teacher. However, we do know a little bit about its origins. Supposedly, “Jik Fibs,” a frequent user of the Shroomery forum, had five albino fruits pop up from a Golden Teacher cultivation. He then took clones from the mutation and swabbed them. Over the next year, he cultivated the strain until he produced three generations of full albino shrooms. The genetics were then made available to the wider market, and reliable albino spore samples could be purchased from a small selection of online vendors.

Knowing your dose is the key to having an excellent psychedelic experience every time. That’s because dosage significantly affects how powerful a trip will be. Sometimes you may want to take it easy, while other times, you want to get into a higher state of being. Yet, it can be difficult to know your dose if you’ve never tripped before. If not, then we have a handy guideline for the average Psilocybe cubensis strain:

• .25 grams (g) for a threshold dose (should feel something)
• .25-1g for a light dose (recreational dose)
• 1-2.5g for a medium dose (recreational dose)
• 5-5g for a strong dose (recreational to spiritual dose)
• 5g+ for a heavy dose (spiritual dose)

Remember that Albino Teachers is a strain that’s above average in terms of potency. Always start out lower if you’re dosing for the first time. We recommend starting with 1 to 1.5 grams. Experienced psychonauts should have no trouble with a 2-gram or higher dose for a solid trip.
