Classic Penis Envy

https://thethirdwave.co/penis-envy/
This variety of Cube (Penis Envy)  is a long time fan favorite. Proven to be of higher potency than a standard Cube; this variety has been cultivated for potency since the mid 70's.
As their name suggests, penis envy mushrooms have a phallic shape. They look very much like a penis. They have a thick and wrinkly stem and are larger than many other types of psilocybin mushrooms. Penis envy mushrooms have a bulbous cap that only sometimes opens up and separates from the very dense stem.
In terms of color, they usually range from a light tan to a darker brown, with variations amongst the different types — Penis Envy has been around a long time, and there are now variations of the original variety. As is typical with psilocybin-containing mushrooms, blue bruising on the stem can be an indication of high psilocybin content. They are also identifiable by their underdeveloped cap and the absence of a veil separating the cap and stem.
Penis envy mushrooms are one of the densest types of magic mushrooms. They may be shorter in height and smaller overall than some other species, but they are still relatively heavy mushrooms, owing to their density.
Penis envy mushrooms are consistently more potent than mostother Psilocybe cubensis varieties. Many users find that penis envy mushrooms offer a more intense, visual, and euphoric experience than Psilocybe cubensis varieties.
It is theorized that their stronger effect is due to both a higher concentration of psilocybin and psilocin, and a higher ratio of psilocin to psilocybin (Psilocybin is the pro-drug of psilocybin — psilocybin is converted to psilocin in the body, the latter crosses the blood brain barrier and is responsible for the psychedelic effects).
However, there are no easily accessible test results to confirm the precise potency of these mushrooms. It has been claimed that penis envy mushrooms contain up to 50 percent higher levels of psilocybin/psilocin than Psilocybe cubensis. Regardless of your shrooms dosage, it is important to have an understanding of how long it takes for shrooms to kick in.
There is no clear evidence on exactly where the penis envy mushroom came from. But legend has it that this strain originated from a very large and healthy Psilocybe cubensis mushroom found in the Amazon rainforest by the psychonaut and lecturer Terence McKenna.
When McKenna was in the Amazon in the early 1970s, magic mushrooms were illegal in most countries due to the 1971 UN Convention on Psychotropic Substances.
However, this legislation did not prohibit mushroom spores since they do not contain psilocybin or psilocin, the active compounds in magic mushrooms. McKenna took spore prints from the mushroom he found and boarded a flight back to the U.S.
Back home in Colorado, he soon began cultivating mushrooms from these prints. McKenna also sent prints from the exceptional Amazonian specimen to his ethnomycology colleagues.
One such colleague was Steven Pollock, a medical doctor who was passionate about the healing potential of psychedelic mushrooms.
Pollock set about propagating and refining the culture, strengthening its genetic profile until one day a mutation occurred. The mutation resulted in the penis envy mushroom, with its noticeable physical characteristics outlined above.
Along with mushroom enthusiast Michael Forbes, Pollock set up a company called Hidden Creek, which sold live cultures and mushroom growing kits. They also sold rare strains of mushrooms, with spores being sent worldwide.
As with any other type of psychedelic mushroom, penis envy mushrooms can produce a range of physical, perceptual, emotional, psychological, and spiritual effects. These effects include the below.
Enhancement of colors
Morphing of objects
Auditory distortions
Intense feelings of euphoria and joy
Deep introspection
Philosophical thoughts
Distortion of space and time
Synesthesia (i.e., “hearing colors”, “seeing sounds”)
Mystical states like feeling connected to the universe
Nonetheless, users will report that these mushrooms have some unique psychoactive effects.
People report that the effects of penis envy mushrooms are similar to most other Psilocybe cubensis varieties, with added intensity due to their higher potency. You may also find more “wavy” visual hallucinations with this variety. This contrasts with strains like Mazatepec or Hualta, which can have visual hallucinations that are more geometric in nature.
The higher ratio of psilocin to psilocybin will also make the onset of the experience occur sooner and more intensely. This is because psilocin is already bioavailable, quickly crossing the blood-brain barrier. The body does not have to metabolize as much psilocybin into psilocin.
People also commonly report that their experience involves less “body load” and makes it more likely for you to feel light, euphoric, and energetic. You may find that this variety offers a “clean” mushroom high.
