Description
Discover the extraordinary Albino Penis Envy (APE) Isolated Spore Syringe—a unique strain of Psilocybe cubensis that represents one of mycology's most fascinating specimens. This exceptional 10cc syringe contains premium spores from a celebrated variety distinguished by its remarkable genetics, striking ghost-like appearance, and profound historical significance within the mycological community.
About the Albino Penis Envy Strain
Albino Penis Envy stands as an exceptional variety within the Psilocybe cubensis species, derived from the renowned Penis Envy (PE) strain with deep connections to the pioneering work of ethnobotanist Terence McKenna. What distinguishes APE from all other varieties is its rare albino mutation—a unique genetic trait that completely removes pigmentation from the fruiting body, creating specimens with an almost ethereal, ghost-like appearance.
This visual rarity, combined with its prestigious genetic lineage, makes APE one of the most sought-after strains for advanced microscopic study and taxonomic research. The strain represents a fascinating intersection of science, history, and natural artistry that continues to captivate researchers and mycological enthusiasts worldwide.
Distinctive Morphological Characteristics
Translucent Beauty: The complete absence of pigmentation results in caps and stems that exhibit a delicate, almost translucent quality, creating specimens of unparalleled visual appeal under microscopic examination.
Penis Envy Heritage: Retains the hallmark features of its prestigious PE lineage, including characteristically thick, robust stems and smaller, rounded caps that contribute to its unique aesthetic and research value.
Genetic Complexity: The albino mutation stems from significant genetic variations, offering researchers invaluable insights into the mutations that drive phenotypic diversity within fungal species.
Unique Development Patterns: Known for distinctive slower growth rates and specialized fruiting characteristics that allow for extended observation periods and detailed study of fungal life cycles.
