Albino Penis Envy Mushroom

Overview albino penis envy

Albino penis Envy (PE) magic mushrooms are a very unique and interesting variety of Psilocybe cubensis mushrooms, with an equally unique and interesting history. This “strain” is colloquially known as the most potent Psilocybe cubensis magic mushroom variety, but unfortunately, due to the current legality surrounding shrooms, there are no easily accessible test results to confirm exactly how much more potent this variety is.

Several anecdotal reports have claimed that the experience elicited by consuming Penis Envy mushrooms is much more intense, visual, and euphoric than other magic mushrooms of the Cubensis species, and some have even analogized the experience to that which is elicited by other considerably “stronger” psychedelics like DMT or LSD. It’s theorized that this stronger effect is due to both a higher concentration of psychotropic alkaloids and a higher ratio of psilocin/psilocybin (psilocybin metabolizes into psilocin, once it’s been consumed).

Albino Penis Envy

The Albino Penis Envy or APE for short is a hybrid of Penis Envy and PF Albino varieties of Psilocybe cubensis. Lacking the golden-colored caps commonly observed in other strains, the caps of APE are white with bluish tones, which turn to a beautiful silver-blue when dried. When it comes to growing APE don’t expect huge yields, as this strain is a little temperamental to grow consistently. Though some claim this mushroom to be stronger than the original Penis Envy, there’s currently little data to back this up.

History of Albino Penis Envy Magic Mushrooms

Albino Penis Envy (aka APE) magic mushrooms have an exciting past. That’s because it’s a hybrid of two legendary strains—Penis Envy and PF Albino.

Likely, you’ve heard all about Penis Envy magic mushrooms before. After all, they’re one of the most popular P. cubensis strains in the world.

If you don’t know about them, then the short version of the story goes like this. Famous mycologist and psychonaut Terence McKenna found huge P. cubensis growing in the Amazon Rainforest.

He sent them to a friend who cultured them until he found a mutant. That mutant was the biggest of the bunch and much more potent than any other cube strain.

Some madman decided that he would take Penis Envy and then make a hybrid with PF Albino. PF Albino is an albino version of the famous PF strain.

The thing is, PF Albino is an already incredibly potent strain itself. So you can only imagine just how robust Albino Penis Envy really is.

The First Penis Envy Mushrooms

According to reports, Penis Envy arose from a healthy and unusually large mushroom discovered deep in the Amazon by renowned psychedelic researcher  Terence McKenna.

In the early 1970s, McKenna is said to have discovered (and sampled) a colossal patch of magic mushrooms deep in the rainforest with the help of native guides. McKenna simply sandwiched some spore prints from this culture between two microscopy slides and boarded a flight to the United States, where he quickly started cultures of the mushrooms from these prints. He also sent some prints from the exceptional Amazonian specimen to several of his colleagues, including Steven Pollock, who claimed that psychedelic mushrooms were the most powerful drug available for treating a variety of mental health issues.
