Living in Canada, we’re statistically a little sun-starved, our Vitamin D levels lower than that of our southern neighbors, and of sun-soaked kin around the globe [1]. Vitamin D operates behind the scenes orchestrating serotonin and dopamine production, the neurotransmitters that shape mood, motivation, and joy [2] It also helps keep inflammation in check, a major contributor to disease, aging, and reduced life expectancy, in it’s role of suppressing pro-inflammatory cytokines and enhancing the body’s anti-inflammatory response.
So, when the northern sun finally reaches it’s peak in the summer, it can feel like a biochemical salvation. The sun’s silent frequency now blazes raw golden data into your skin, flooding your nervous system with signals from the core of our solar system. So too in mushrooms, those same solar codes trigger it’s own visceral magic. Sunlight bathes fungi catalyzing vitamin D synthesis through the UV-activated conversion of exposed ergostero; this is the alchemy of light in action: sliced mushrooms literally glow with D₂ after just an hour in the sun (definitely try this at home).
Similarly, when you ingest psilocybin, your brain lights up with creativity and aliveness. It’s a neural illumination, you may experience the soft guiding light of consciousness leading you toward novelty and insight.
Golden Teachers are the philosopher kings of the psychedelic fungi realm. Notoriously euphoric and insightful, they’re known to lift the veil and sharpen your connection to self and source. This OG Psilocybe cubensis strain hits your 5-HT2A serotonin receptors, opening the channel to clarity, vitality, and the potential to get out of your own damn way.
Mushrooms don’t photosynthesize like plants, but we all, humans, flora + fungi, all react to light in strange, wonderful and alchemical ways.
Taking psilocybin with intention while basking in sunlight, drops you into a natural psycho-spiritual ecology. Your body becomes a garden to tend. Light floods your pineal gland, stirring inner visions and intuitive intelligence. As your skin synthesizes vitamin D, serotonin levels rise, and psilocybin unlocks emotional processing, sharpening sensory perception, and loosening the grip of the ego.
Mushrooms are Earth’s original decomposers, breaking down organic matter, recycling nutrients, and regenerating ecosystems. The same principles apply under the guidance of Golden Teachers. Suppressed memories, emotional residue, and unconscious patterns can surface into the light of consciousness, offering you a chance for processing, healing and re-integration; clearing debris for new growth, inside and out.[3]
