Magic mushrooms, specifically the Psilocybin Cubensis species, are highly sought for their spiritual and therapeutic value. These shroom varieties contain a psychedelic compound known as psilocybin, which activates the brain’s serotonin receptors. These receptors are mainly found on the front side of the brain’s frontal lobe. They are responsible for regulating mood, cognition, and perception.
The psychedelic trip consumers experience is determined by the dosage, consumption history, and the set & setting. There may be hallucinations or not, but one will definitely experience some form of distortion that affects their perception of the environment and the people around them.
Psilocybin Cubensis mushrooms have an estimated 0.63% psilocybin and 0.6% psilocin. Some varieties may have slighter higher potency, while others have a lower percentage of psychedelic compounds. Below is a list of five of the most potent magic mushroom strains.
Penis Envy Magic Mushrooms
Penis Envy Cubensis magic mushrooms are considered to be medium to large in size. These magic mushrooms are characterized by their thick + long stems and fleshy caps. Furthermore, when you look at the mushroom it looks like the male reproductive system. These Magic Mushrooms are known to be the strongest in the world for the Psilocybe Cubensis class.The Penis Envy is extremely hard to grow as they take the longest to cultivate and only 10% of the mushrooms will drop spores. Due to the nature of how these shrooms grow, most caps are barely opened. In addition, even when the caps open the stem will continue to grow longer and thicker. This is something that is uncommon for Cubensis classed Magic Mushrooms.
Effects of the Penis Envy
This is not a mushroom for beginners because of its high potency of Psilocybin and Psilocin. On average, Penis Envy mushrooms are 1.5 times to 3 times more potent than some mushrooms.
