Penis Envy Mushroom

Effects

Generally speaking, psilocybin causes euphoria or other changes in mood, changes in thought-pattern often including spiritual or personal insight, and, at higher doses, hallucinations. Less-enjoyable effects commonly include excessive yawning, nausea, and sometimes vomiting. Severe reactions, such as convulsions, are very rare, but can occur. Psilocybin is relatively safe, but it is not risk-free.

Among the most common negative effects is anxiety, which can become extreme—despite the fact that psilocybin has also been advocated as a treatment for anxiety and depression. Some people say that psilocybin is an enhancer, exaggerating whatever mindset the user is already in.

Penis Envy Mushroom specifically is said to be less visual and more mental or spiritual than many of the other strains. The high can last up to eight hours.

Potency

Penis Envy Mushroom is an extremely potent strain, among the strongest P. cubensis strains available. That’s one reason for the strain’s popularity.

Growing Penis Envy Mushroom

Penis Envy Mushroom is considered a good option for beginner-growers, since it grows fast with a short colonization time and fruits prolifically. Several brands of grow-kit are available, plus it’s possible to buy spores and start from scratch.

Any method usually used for P. cubensis, such as PF tek or monotub, will work. Penis Envy Mushroom is not a picky strain. Given its tropical origins, it does require a colonization temperature of 84 to 86 degrees, Fahrenheit. For fruiting, the temperature should be lowered to 74 to 78 degrees, Fahrenheit.

Dosage

Rough estimates for proper P. cubensis dosage can be calculated for any of several possible experience types, such as microdosing (not enough mushroom to cause a true high, only subtle effects) on up to a heroic dose (something that could cause serious mental disturbance in the unprepared). The word, “rough,” here is important, though. Even within a strain, though, potency can vary from mushroom to mushroom, while human sensitivity to psilocybin also varies. It’s best to err on the side of taking too little rather than too much, since the risk of negative effects increases with the dose size.

Mushrooms are generally sold dried, but not always. Keep in mind that dosage is very different for fresh material.

Generally, doses for Amazonian must be smaller than for most other strains, since Amazonian is unusually potent.

Growing Vs. Buying Penis Envy Mushroom

Would-be psychonauts can buy mushrooms or grow them. There are advantages and disadvantaged to each.

On a per-dose basis, growing at home is cheaper by far. The mushrooms will grow on easily-available substrates, such as bird seed or popcorn, and growers who let a few mushrooms go unharvested and then collect spores never have to buy spores again. But many people don’t want an infinite supply of just one strain—they want a variety. And while growing mushrooms is a fun and interesting hobby, many people really don’t want dozens of doses two or three months from now—they want one or two doses now. So for some users, buying is definitely the way to go.

Quality is also an issue. In jurisdictions where psilocybin is illegal, buyers have no recourse against disreputable sellers. If the product has lost potency or isn’t the right species, the buyer can’t sue. Home growers have the advantage of controlling quality themselves.

Then there is legal risk.

Growing Vs. Buying Penis Envy Mushroom

In many areas, psilocybin (and any mushrooms that contain the substance) is illegal, but since spores don’t have psilocybin, buying and possessing spores is fine. Growers appreciate the fact that they don’t need to commit a crime to set up a grow. Germinating the spores breaks the law, but nobody has to know about it, since it occurs in the privacy of the grower’s home. Unfortunately, if a grower does get caught, the penalties are likely to be more severe, considering the much larger supply.

In areas where psilocybin has been decriminalized for personal use, buying a few doses is likely to be legally safer, since “manufacturing” several pounds of illegal mushrooms may not look like “personal use” to a court.

Ultimately, the decision to buy or grow depends on the user’s specific circumstances and willingness to accept different kinds of risk.
