Penis Envy Magic Mushrooms

True to its name, the Penis Envy mushroom produces very large phallic fruits, which have been a stable source of insecurity in young males for decades. In this article we will discuss the potency, effects, and how to grow the Penis Envy magic mushroom.

Summary:

Penis Envy (PE) is a variant of the psilocybe cubensis strain of psychedelic mushrooms. The PE has a little bit of a disputed past and it’s unclear if the sensual fruit we see today is the original specimen, or if it is a result of isolating a mutation from the original specimen. However, it is generally accepted that the original Penis Envy culture was collected in the Amazon rainforest by the famed psychonaut, Mr. Terrance Mckenna. Penis Envy is one of the most sought-after magic mushroom varieties.

What makes Penis Envy mushrooms so special?

Well, aside from giving your boyfriend an inferiority complex, compared to other p. Cubensis varieties, Penis Envy mushrooms are reported to have unusually high concentrations of psychoactive compounds, psilocybin, and psilocin. While this does not necessarily directly translate to a longer or stronger experience, many people swear by its potency and effects.

How to grow Penis Envy Mushrooms

Like any other cubensis variety, PE’s can be grown using grains and manure-based substrates. This variant however can be a little harder to cultivate than some other varieties. Unlike some aggressive variants, such as amazonian, PEs take longer to colonize, fruit, and mature. Because of this, the grower must be sure to closely monitor environmental conditions in order to maximize yields. It is worth noting however that over the years there have been multiple isolations of original Penis Envy, i.e. PE7, PE21, PEU, and so on, that have been isolated for increased contamination resistance and aggressiveness, making them easier to cultivate.

The simplest way to grow Penis Envys is to fruit directly from the bag using an all-in-one bag such as this one from Mushroomsupplies.com. However, experienced growers may opt to increase their yields by birthing a colonized grain spawn bag to a mono-tub setup using a manure-based substrate. We use BoomerBag Substrate and have great results every time.

In our personal experience, we have had the greatest success using low-profile tin containers. You can read the full post on how to grow Penis Envy mushrooms using tin containers here.

How to grow penis envy the easy way

Below is a summary of this method:

  1. Innoculate grain bag with 3-5cc of penis envy liquid culture or spores via spore syringe.
  2. Store the inoculated grain bag in a dry area for colonization making sure to maintain a substrate temperature of 84-86. Colonizing mycelium generates its own heat, so an ambient room temperature in the high 70s is recommended.
  3. Once fully colonized, prepare the tin container and begin layering the substrate and colonized grain. Begin and end with a layer of the substrate.
  4. Set aside for re-colonization (10-14 days)
  5. Prepare the li by adding fresh air holes and cover with micro-pore tape.
  6. Replace the lid and place the tin into fruiting conditions. Reduce the ambient temperatures to reduce the substrate temperatures to 74-78 degrees F.
  7. Mist the inside of the chamber lid when needed.
  8. Harvest

Penis Envy Mushroom Growing Parameters:

Preferred Substrate(s):Various grain types, compost, pasteurized dung/straw
Substrate Temperature (Colonization):84/86 degrees F.
Substrate Temperature (Fruiting):74/78 degrees F.
Humidity/FAEDuring Colonization: 100%RH, 0 FAE: During Fruiting: 90%RH, FAE 2-5x per day

Note: Substrate temps should be measured internally using a probe thermometer. We’ve found that multi-probe thermometers, such as this dual probe and this quad probe thermometer are easy and very accurate.
