Penis Envy is one of the most potent and popular strains of Psilocybe cubensis, with genetics that test reliably above the average cube. For once the reputation is earned.
Find your Penis Envy dose
Lab-based estimateThis strain averages about 1.5% total tryptamines against roughly 0.9% for a typical cubensis, so the ranges below are scaled to it. Pick how far you want to go:
These are relative starting ranges, not a measurement of your bag. Potency swings two to four times between batches of the same strain. Start at the low end, wait at least 90 minutes before judging, and do not redose the same night.
Numbers: strain averages from Oakland Hyphae Psilocybin Cup lab results where available; gram ranges adapted from Psychedelic Support’s dosing guide. Taking medication or new to all of this? Talk to a health professional first. Not medical advice.
What It Looks Like
The name is not subtle, and neither is the mushroom. Penis Envy grows short and dense with thick stems and small caramel-brown caps that often stay half-closed rather than opening flat. The fruits are heavier and slower to develop than a typical cube, which is a big part of why they are harder to grow and less common on the shelf.
How to Take It
Same options as any dried cube: chewed on their own, brewed into tea, or ground into food to soften the taste. Because Penis Envy runs strong, start lower than your usual amount and give it a full hour before deciding you need more.
Effects to Expect
Expect a heavier, more visual trip than an everyday Golden Teacher: stronger colours and patterns, a deep shift in headspace, and plenty of introspection. A note on the numbers: you will see 2.9% psilocybin quoted for Penis Envy, but that comes from a single record-setting sample, not what a normal batch measures. It is still genuinely strong and not one for the faint of heart.
Staying Safe
Have some experience under your belt before reaching for this one. Keep a free afternoon, a comfortable spot, water nearby, and a sober friend if it is your first time at this strength.
Similar Strains
If Penis Envy suits you, its relatives are worth a look. Albino Penis Envy is the pale, arguably punchier cousin, while Melmac is a PE descendant that keeps the strength with a slightly steadier ride.

Was better then I expected, just a few grams made my day extremely enjoyable. I will definitely recommend to friends. I plan on experiencing every strain they have to offer but will definitely try this one again.

Ok, well, my first experience was heroic to say the least. While it’s not recommended, I was drinking a bit (3 drinks ) before I tried. 3 months earlier I had been listening to Jordan Peterson and he was talking about a psychedelic drug study he heard of where the participants all reported to the person running the study – they all reported their experiences (and I don’t remember what the drug was …might have been Psilocybin…but not sure). Anyway, they all reported the EXACT same thing to the person running the study and that person shut it down because they were so freaked out – everyone reported the EXACT same thing – that they met aliens! (I didn’t meet aliens 🙂 . … that stuck with me for a long time. I bought from this site and didn’t try anything for awhile . I didn’t want to just try it for the sake of trying it. I wanted to wait until I felt something or was moved or inspired…something. So, about a month after buying , I finished a painting and part of that painting for some reason started to draw my focus and attention. And for many hours I kept (while sober) looking at and fixating on a particular part of my painting (which has never happened like that). I went for a run and at the end of my run I was listening to ‘Enigma – Return To Innocence’ . When I got home, I went and looked at my painting and again was still fixating on one specific part of my painting; it’s all I could look at. Ok, so, 3 hours later (and a few drinks) , while still mostly sober, I decided to try it. And over the course of the next 4 hours, the part of my painting wasn’t calling me to it – it was calling me through it. Yeah, I know. So I ended up dancing to that song over and over and over. And then, one time, I went through my painting. I met myself as a young boy sitting against a stone wall playing with a jagged rock. I talked to him/me. That was in ancient Egypt over 3000 years ago. I talked to him/me and asked him to help an old man sitting near by to stand up. He/me smiled and did it and I came back through my painting. I won’t even go into part II. (ps, this is real for me…not a joke). I’m not even sure if this will be allowed to be posted. I took I think about 7-9 grams.

Good stuff, strong stuff — I got these from the London store. They’re quite potent. I personally got some stomach discomfort from them, even when doing the lemon tek. But this is to be expected from shrooms in general, so no points taken away for that. I don’t have a scale, so I wasn’t able to measure out my doses (I know, I know) but the one time I tried a very small dose, I experienced no visual effects, physically felt more relaxed & mentally felt more relaxed and happy. The times I took a larger dose were quite intense. Within the first 30-45 minutes, I don’t experience any effects. After 45 minutes, colors are more vibrant, start seeing slight motion in objects, emotions start getting more enhanced 1-1.5 hours in, everything is breathing. Shapes warp, expand & contract. Textures change. Closed eye visuals. Thoughts start becoming more abstract, emotions are very enhanced. Time becomes difficult to keep track of. Peak: Physically, I was very lethargic, even fell onto my bed because I couldn’t hold myself up anymore. But once I landed in bed, waves of euphoria came over me. Also couldnt physically keep my eyes open. Visually, it’s hard to describe. Think of an overlay of repeating patterns, but there’s full experiences that happen on top of that which words can’t describe. Emotionally, this is where you need to be able to let go & surrender to the experience. Trying to fight it will cause things to turn dark, so just let the mushroom do it’s thing and accept the experience. There was a point where I lost the difference between what was me and what wasn’t, very spiritual experience. The comedown is amazing. Coming back into your body & feeling reborn. Feeling such a sincere feeling of peace and calm. & the afterglow can last for a few weeks after. Overall, it’s an amazing and spiritually enlightening experience that’s words cannot accurately describe. I wouldn’t recommend diving into a large dose unless you already have experience with altered states of consciousness AND have a good understanding of grounding/breathing techniques as it is an extremely intense experience. I definitely recommend this to anyone interested in trying shrooms! If you have a sensitive stomach like myself, try making it into a tea with some ginger!

Dense stems and definitely high potency from this batch.

Strong but not Heady — As many others have said they are potent but comes on in euphoria and visuals. Doesn’t get into your head as some other types. Strongly recommend a hike in nature on a mild .5-1g dose. Stop and smell the roses. Feel right as rain for days after.

Not for beginners but amazing if you respect the dose.

Highly Recommend — Went there to get my magic mushrooms and Randy was a super great help at the counter! He suggested that we take the penis envy and it was an awesome suggestion. It was a very good buzz and fun hallucinations. Went back again today and was suggested the Chode magic mushroom and it was again a super great suggestion. Will definitely go back again and again.
