There are loads to talk about when it comes to Penis Envy mushrooms.
One also just can’t ignore the elephant in the room. Anyone can instantly recognize within a glance where this magic mushroom gets its name. You’ll never run out of running jokes once you get hold of these phallic-looking fellas.
Innuendoes aside, the Penis Envy mushroom packs a punch that leaves even the most experienced psychonauts in a state of total surrender. If you’re looking for an intense mystical experience β one that shatters the very essence of reality right before your eyes β then this one might just be the one for you.
Penis Envy Magic Mushroom: An Overview
In the world of the magic mushroom, the Penis Envy stands out to be the most intriguing personality. Its reputation far precedes itself. Amateurs will find its handle rather humorous, but experienced psychonauts know better.
The Penis Envy strain is one of the most potent and hard-hitting of all psilocybin mushrooms out there. Anecdotal evidence suggests that the Penis Envy mushroom experience is much more surreal, shamanic, and euphoric than other shrooms of the Psilocybe cubensis species. Some even go so far as to rank the trip along with the likes of DMT and LSD.
This strain of incredibly potent shrooms grows in the wild and can be found in many parts of North America. They get their name from the fact that they do resemble the male genitalia.
Penis Envy History and Origin
The story of how the Penis Envy magic mushroom made it here is fascinating, filled with unexpected twists and turns. The legend begins with famed psychonaut, ethnobotanist, and mystic Terence McKenna.
Rumour has it that McKenna and his native guides discovered a sizable body of PE deep within the rainforests of the Amazon. This was in the ’70s, and despite the lack of psychedelic research back then, magic mushrooms have already been banned in most countries under the 1971 UN Psychotropic Substances Act.
Unlike fruiting bodies, spores contained zero percent of the psilocybin β the active mind-altering component of the magic mushroom. Working around this legal loophole, McKenna smuggled spore samples back to his home lab in Colorado.
From here on, the legend takes a turn Γ la Wolf of Wall Street. PE would be nowhere as popular today had it not been for one astute scientist-cum-businessman: Dr. Steven Pollock.
Soon after cultivating his batch, McKenna sent a couple of magic mushroom prints to several of his colleagues. One of those who worked with what McKenna sent was Dr. Pollock, a mycologist (one who studies fungi for a living) who dedicated his life to proving the potential of psychedelic shrooms in treating psychological disorders.
After receiving his spore prints, Pollock began cultivating and refining the strain. Each new generation was genetically more robust than the previous one until a tipping point was reached.
Rumour has it that the Penis Envy we know (and love) today was borne from a unique, recessive mutation taken from one of these generations. The stems were thicker and denser. The caps were underdeveloped, and the velum (the thin membrane that protects developing spores) was absent.
Pollock isolated and successfully propagated this noticeably unusual mutant. Thus, the Penis Envy came into being β and the rest is history.
Ever so determined, Pollock continued to work both legally and illegally to spread the use of psychedelic shrooms. His goal? A magic mushroom “superlab” where he could conduct research and cultivate psychedelics for medical and recreational use.
On top of shrooms, Dr. Pollock was also dealing with other illegal drugs. His drug business grew to a massive scale that the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) began surveilling his every move. Everything was still under control β until Pollock’s untimely murder on the wee hours of 31 January 1981.
Up to this day, nobody knows who precisely orchestrated the attack and what was the motive behind it.
Pollock may be long gone, but his ideas and discoveries have never been more relevant. From his homeland, all the way to the Netherlands, the magic mushroom is now being hailed as a revolutionary treatment for previously untreatable mental illnesses such as PTSD and OCD.
Dr. Pollock was light-years ahead of his time, and everybody else is only starting to catch up.
Penis Envy Appearance
When it comes to describing the physical form of Penis Envy shrooms, you’ll never run out of innuendoes to choose from or laugh at. This potent strain gets its name from the fact that it does resemble the male genitalia. It’s the “penis shroom” to simplify things.
Picture this: a bulbous head and a thick shaft. The bulbous caps of PE don’t open much, and when they do (usually during maturity), the width isn’t all that encompassing. The shroom’s stems are also quite dense, so much so that they make Penis Envy one of the densest magic mushrooms out there.
This guy’s pretty well endowed. X-rated jokes aside, this magic mushroom is also named after a now-debunked Freudian psychoanalytic theory. However, unlike this phallic hang-up, PE is backed by decades of research and breakthrough scientific evidence (more on this later).
Growing Penis Envy
Many mushroom growers can only dream of growing their plot of Penis Envy. Unfortunately, this rare strain is notoriously difficult to cultivate and grow β even under optimal conditions β because of low spore yield.
This poses a problem for many homegrown growers seeking to harvest a sustainable amount of fruiting bodies. To begin with, a cultivator will need to have heaps of Penis Envy shrooms just to obtain a viable enough spore print or syringe.
Having enough spores to start shroom farming is just one battle. Cultivators will also need to monitor growing conditions from start to finish.
Aside from the usual fungal requirements, these shrooms need more moisture compared to their psilocybin counterparts. Because they come from a rare genetic line, they’re also less resistant to contamination. Maintenance is a must.
And if all these requirements are not enough to turn off potential growers, Penis Envy likes to take its time. Under optimal conditions, they grow two months after they’re planted in the growing medium. That’s 25% longer compared to most magic mushrooms!
That being said, there’s a certain charm with things that take time and effort to create. Those who press on are rewarded with something truly out of this world.
Penis Envy magic mushroom varieties
Not all pee-pees are made the same.
Ever since Pollock introduced Penis Envy to the mainstream in the ’70s, several entheo-mycologists and vendors have crossed different variants and hybrids of the psychedelic. Today, there are several popular sub-variants, with more being crossed in mycolabs.
Each distinguishable cross has its not-so-little quirks. Each Penis Envy variant, however, is noticeably more potent than all other Psilocybe cubensis variants.
Albino Penis Envy (APE)
Perhaps the most popular of all Penis Envy magic mushroom strains, the Albino Penis Envy (APE) shares many of the great qualities of its predecessor. The significant differences are primarily appearance-wise. Whereas PE has brown caps and medium-length stems, APE has milky-white coloration throughout and is shorter and stubbier.
When mature, Albino Envy caps turn a dark-gray or dark-blue colour but do not open, unlike its sister strains. This variant is said to be the most potent of all PE varieties. Testing this claim, however, is nigh impossible due to legality issues.
Penis Envy #6 (PE6)
A cross between the OG Penis Envy and a lesser-known strain Tex strain, the Penis Envy #6 (PE6), attempted to create a PE strain with greater spore yield.
Appearance-wise, PE6 can look anywhere between its parents. But unlike PE, PE6 shrooms have larger caps that fully open during maturity. The gills should also be darker in colour and moderately exposed.
There are conflicting reports regarding the potency of PE6. Some say it’s slightly more potent than PE, while others claim it’s the less potent strain. Again, there currently is no legal and official way to test the veracity of such claims.
Penis Envy Uncut
Considered to be the most unique-looking variety, the Penis Envy Uncut is a strong contender for the most potent type as well. PE Uncut is easiest to distinguish at maturing. Unlike other strains, their underdeveloped dark caps remain close even at maturity.
Formed by cloning a dark-capped mutation, the Uncut Penis Envy lacks a velum β the foreskin-like membrane that protects developing spores and separates the bulb from the shaft. It produces very few spores like its parent.
Anecdotal evidence suggests that the Uncut variant produces more vivid and powerful trips than the OG PE. Despite its high potency, growth takes a long time, and yield is subpar. This strain’s genetics are also more vulnerable to contamination.
Texas Penis Envy
Formed from the cross between PE and the Texas strains, Texas Penis Envy Shrooms are highly-prized for their potency levels close to the original. This strain appears closer to its Texas parent, with thinner stems and wider caps based on looks alone.
The high of this strain is often accompanied by both visual and auditory sensations. It’s quite a powerful one, but those brave enough are rewarded with deep feelings of happiness, closeness, and lightness. Users often report uncovering life-changing revelations under its effects.
Golden Teacher
First classified in the late ’80s, Golden Teacher is one of the most well-known strains of Psilocybe cubensis. The name Golden Teacher has become almost synonymous with psilocybin mushrooms themselves.
Golden Teacher takes its name from its reflective yellowish-gold caps β a defining feature that separates it from the dull brown ones of wild P. cubensis. A distinct triangular bump can be seen at the center of the caps. Golden Teachers tend to reach medium-to-large size under optimal growing conditions.
Thanks to its relatively moderate potency, this strain can be a gateway for novice users and less-experienced psychonauts. A recreational dose of Golden Teacher should facilitate a subtle but nice trip, accompanied by feelings of euphoria and laughter.
Trans Envy Magic Mushroom (Psilocybe cubensis Trans Envy)
A newer strain created by SporesLab, Trans Envy, is a cross between the South African Transkei and the OG Penis Envy. Combining the best of both worlds, Trans Envy offers both the vivid, visual experience of the PE; and the body stimulating sensations of the Transkei.
In terms of looks, this variety more closely resembles Transkei with its medium-sized yellowish-white stems. It does borrow from its PE ancestry thick and fleshy stems, pale caps, and high potency. Trans Envy is slightly less potent than other PE varieties, but it is more robust than its Tansekei parent.
The legal status of Penis Envy magic mushrooms
For the longest time, the consumption of magic mushrooms was illegal across all Canadian states. Today, the act itself stands in a legal grey area.
Psilocybin-containing shrooms are not legal per se in Canada. They’re still prohibited under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. The fact remains, however, that prohibition is absurdly challenging to perform.
Shrooms grow almost everywhere. And unlike other drugs, they aren’t addictive (contrary to popular belief); they’re not poisonous; and, they don’t cause people to harm others or engage in reckless behaviour.
An ever-growing number of people consume PE in various forms β from dried mushrooms to shroom candies β as part of their regular recreational dose. Times are changing, though.
Thanks to the growing body of research, more and more health practitioners advocate using psychedelic mushrooms in treating medical conditions. The potential medical benefits of psychedelics could pave the way for the complete legalization of the magic mushroom in Canada.
An incredibly potent mushroom
Two factors make the Penis Envy magic mushroom stand out from the psychedelic mushroom crowd: potency and visual experience.
The first factor is a no-brainer. Without a doubt, PE is one of the most potent psychedelics found in nature. The exact reason why this is so is still largely up for debate, but experts believe that it’s all about ratio.
Penis envy magic mushrooms not only contain high concentrations of psychoactive compounds; the ratio between psilocybin and psilocin is skewed to the latter. Interestingly, psilocybin is just a precursor to psilocin β the primary component responsible for the psychoactive effect of the shroom.
In environmental conditions, psilocybin is more stable. Once it passes through the liver, however, the compound is dephosphorylated into psilocin. Thanks to this unique ratio, the onset of effects occur more rapidly as you essentially bypass metabolism and go straight for the serotonin receptors.
The second factor refers to the experience of consuming PE. Unlike regular mushrooms, PE is highly visual. These intense visuals are often described as “wavy” and “dreamy.” In psychedelic language, it’s also said to feel “lighter” and “cleaner” than other drugs.
Penis Envy magic mushroom effects
Penis Envy is one of many psychedelics, yet its effects are among the most potent and possible awe-inspiring out there. It holds a reputation for inducing strong visuals and time-and-space distortions. Users also report entering a state of deep introspection and experiencing incredibly vivid hallucinations alongside some form of synesthesia.
This intense experience often fills those who use PE with a heightened sense of mysticism and spirituality. It’s not unheard of for people to connect with stark religious imagery during the trip: Jesus Christ, Shiva, Buddha, great grandparents, angels… the list goes on.
Penis Envy magic mushrooms can catalyze transcendence beyond the idea of the self, and those who have felt this sensation often describe it as “being one” with the world. When used in the context of psychedelic therapy, PE can help one achieve ego death.
Magic mushrooms could revolutionize the way we treat mental disorders.
A variety of therapeutic qualities can be found in magic mushrooms. One of the most promising applications of psilocybin is in treating stubborn mental disorders. We’re talking about the likes of PTSD, OCD, treatment-resistant depression, chronic anxiety, addictions, and schizophrenia.
The therapeutic potential of PE is largely attributed to its ability to change one’s perspective. By influencing the way users see themselves and their place in this world, magic mushrooms allow people dealing with mental disorders to come face-to-face with underlying issues they’ve been unable to resolve for years.
There’s a growing body of neuroscientific research supporting the use of psychedelics. For example, those suffering from depression have highly-ordered neural circuitries that constantly pump out negative thoughts, much like an assembly line. The “high” in psilocybin therapy allows one to “break free” from this order and rid oneself of such negative associations.
Not only are shrooms treating people, but they’re also incredible research tools that help brain scientists study the human consciousness. The more we know about how mental and behavioural repertoires function, the better we can formulate treatment and preventative measures.
Magic Mushrooms are helping terminally-ill patients find peace.
Traditionally, care for those afflicted with terminal illnesses such as life-threatening cancer is limited to providing some form of physical relief. Too often do we neglect the internal outlook of patients faced with certain death. Now, with the introduction of psychedelic therapy, the medical community is bringing into the conversation patients’ emotional and mental well-being.
Magic mushrooms are reshaping our notions of cancer treatment. A study conducted by NYU Langone Health suggests that a single dose of psilocybin can reduce depression, demoralization, and death anxiety by up to 60%-80%. Patients who took the shrooms reported feeling at peace with one’s fate, thus easing the transition towards death.
Penis Envy magic mushrooms can help with chronic pain.
PE, and other psilocybin shrooms, are showing promising results in mental treatment. Health scientists are now exploring the possibility of prescribing the Penis Envy magic mushroom in treating physical pain.
Chronically ill patients who self-medicate with psilocybin report not only having an improved outlook on life but also noticing a significant decrease in pain. Anecdotal evidence is pushing scientists to test shrooms on chronic pains, cluster headaches, and even phantom limb pain.
The research is still relatively in its early stages, but early research points towards a novel pain therapy.
What is evident now is that psilocybin shrooms treat pain by “treating the whole person.” Psychedelic therapy is changing the way we view and treat pain: from focusing on isolated cases towards taking a more holistic approach against a comorbid melange of sensory abnormalities.
Potential side effects of taking magic mushrooms
You’ve probably heard of a “bad trip” before. What you might not know is how bad it can get and how easily you can fall into one if you consume it unprepared.
Side effects of taking Penis Envy magic mushrooms might include feeling nauseous, dizzy, or sleepy. There can be some dry mouth and loss of coordination. A “bad trip” is also possible, but this will depend on the person’s mental state before taking them.
People who take one too many Penis Envy Magic Mushrooms may experience hallucinations that are vivid, overwhelming, and even downright terrifying. They might feel like there isn’t a way out of their situation and/or want to harm themselves if they don’t have someone with them while using these fungi.
Dosing Magic Mushrooms
Even relatively experienced psychonauts can find some trips a bit overwhelming. This is dosing matters a lot. Whether you’re planning to microdose or go all in, it helps to know how you’re going to approach your intake.
A typical dose for one person using magic mushrooms would range from anywhere between 1.0 and 1.5 grams per 100lbs of body weight. A lot of other factors, such as tolerance level, experience, and your current mental state, also play in when determining what dosage is truly right for you.
A good rule of thumb is to start small (the minimum, preferably) and gradually work your way up until a comfortable dosage has been reached. Veterans, however, can start with 2-3 grams depending on levels of experience.
For a microdose, take anywhere between 0.2g to 0.5g. It’s been reported that micro-dosing on alternative days can help improve creativity, mental clarity, calm anxiety, and decrease the need for other “uppers” like caffeine.
Do take note that what applies to other dried shrooms doesn’t necessarily apply to PE. Because PE is super potent, one gram can elicit an effect equivalent to two or three grams of less potent dried mushroom. As a safe measure, adjust your measurements by at least 30% for these guys.
Always take the safer route when trying Penis Envy out! At the end of the day, you’re still much better off not feeling much than agonizing over a prolonged, bad trip.
What to do before your first Penis Envy dose
Once you’ve determined what dosage is right for you, you’ll want to set the right mood for the right kind of trip. The “setting,” as some like to call it, significantly influences the kind of imagery one visualizes during the trip.
The setting is so crucial that even clinics deploy new-age vibes to facilitate the transcendental experience. Clinical trials for psychedelic therapy try to stray as far away from the rigid hospital imagery and instead refurbish treatment rooms with a more inviting and calming atmosphere.
When used to treat addiction, depression, and other mental conditions, patients will need to be briefed on the potentially intense trip they’re about to face. Because Penis Envy magic mushrooms can unveil layers of the psyche, one might need to go inward and confront certain personal issues head-on.
One must be prepared at all times as the trip could get worse than what was expected. Again, proper dosage plays a key part in how your experience will unfold. Users, especially first-timers, must have someone with them to ensure that they’re safe and can be helped (or reassured) when needed.
Like other strains of P. cubensis, the PE mushroom trip typically lasts between six to eight hours. This strain acts quickly relative to its sister strains, with the desired effects reportedly coming in within a half-hour or so.
While under the effects of Penis Envy, you should always remember to keep hydrated. Light physical movements can also shake off any discomfort. To counteract possible nausea, you might want to try sipping on some honey ginger tea.
Once you get more experienced, you might want to try a lemon tek. This involves soaking the “magic truffles” lemon juice for about twenty minutes. It’s believed that the acid in lemon helps make a high dose even more potent while also making the experience more palatable.
