What's in the Box
Overview
The lineage that these PEU spores were taken from have a mix of canonical and light pigmentation and thus the most current batch has more of the canonical P. cubensis presentation.
This lineage is more of a PEU-Revert in phenotype. It is unstable will give variable results under the microscope. Great for spore hunters looking for varied samples. This strain tends to revert to a more P. cubensis phenotype compared to the original PEU phenotype. It was originally sold as a PEU revert but was changed in 2024 to keep it inline with its curator. If you are looking for a more stable variety of Penis Envy then we suggest taking a look at the Penis Envy Plus swabs which will provide more consistent results.
Penis Envy strains are known for their potency, i.e. high levels of psilocybin. The original Penis Envy mushroom came to prominence in the 80's when it was given its current name - previously being sold as Amazonian. The first image of the Penis Envy was pictured on the front cover of the (impossible-to-find) book Cubensis Acquarium Gardening by Richard Gutierrez published in 1976. It's believed Terrence McKenna had collected samples from the Amazon, Gutierrez got hold of some of these samples through a third party, began the journey and the evolution of Penis Envy transpired having to regularly regenerate the lineage. This cycle of regeneration lasted for approximately 20 years. For those that remember it, it was later sold under the name Willy's Rocket Dicks. Sadly, we've pretty much lost all trace of this line of genetics so Penis Envy today is a completely new entity.
