Albino Penis Envy mushrooms carry about 11.6mg of psilocybin per gram in community testing. That number sits at the strong end of every cubensis chart we track. Psilocybin is the compound that makes mushrooms psychedelic, and this jar holds a lot of it.
Everything about dosing changes at this strength. Read the numbers before you buy.
Where Albino Penis Envy mushrooms come from
This strain has a real, named origin — rare in the mushroom trade. John Workman of Sporeworks built it by crossing Penis Envy with PF Albino, work dated to the mid-2000s. DoubleBlind traced that history in an interview with the originator.
The older Penis Envy backstory is murkier. Legend holds the line goes back to Terence McKenna’s Amazon collecting trips. It’s a great campfire tale, and that’s all we’ll call it — the people closest to the story have disputed or walked back their versions.
How strong is it, really?
DoubleBlind reported APE at or near the top of 2022 Oakland Hyphae Psilocybin Cup testing. The same reporting pegs the wider Penis Envy family at roughly 50–100% stronger than average cubensis.
Careful with superlatives, though. The honest phrasing is among the strongest cubensis strains, and that’s the one we stand behind.
What 11.6mg per gram means in a dose
Run the math and the caution makes sense.
- 0.5g: about 5.8mg of psilocybin.
- 1g: about 11.6mg.
- 2g: about 23.2mg, the top of our full-dose range.
The figure is a rate per gram, so the psilocybin scales with the weight you eat. Those figures come from the community testing average on our sheet. Mushrooms vary jar to jar, so read them as a guide, not a lab result.
- Strength: advanced — the strongest tier we stock.
- Potency: about 11.6mg/g psilocybin (community testing).
- Microdose: 25–50mg.
- Session doses: light 0.5–0.75g, moderate 0.75–1.5g, full 1–2g.
- Onset: 30–60 minutes, with a sharper come-up than beginner strains.
- Duration: 4–6 hours, peak near 90 minutes, heavier body load.
- Look: ghost-white caps, dense twisted stems, blue bruising.
Storing a jar this strong
Dried mushrooms hold best sealed, dark, and dry. Air and damp are what wear them down.
- Airtight jar, cool cupboard, no sunlight.
- Whole caps hold better than ground ones, so grind a dose at a time.
- No fridge — swings in damp air work against dried caps.
- Well out of reach of kids and pets, at this strength above all.
How people take dried APE caps
Weighing comes first, every time. After that the method is down to taste.
- Eaten plain: the quickest route, and the earthiest.
- Ground into capsules: handy for small, exact microdoses.
- Steeped as tea: no chewing, and the grounds strain out at the end.
- Chopped into food: fine, as long as nothing gets left in the bowl.
Whatever the route, the weight on the scale is the dose. At 11.6mg of psilocybin per gram, a rough guess costs more here than on any other jar we stock.

Why growers call APE a tricky strain
The spores are nearly clear. A print off this strain shows almost nothing, so anyone breeding from prints gets little to go on.
In person the mushrooms are unmistakable — ghost-white caps on thick, twisted stems.
Press one and it bruises blue within seconds. That blue mark is normal on this line, and it reads as handling rather than age.
What albino penis envy mushrooms feel like
Users commonly report strong visuals, a heavy body, and sessions that turn inward fast. The come-up is sharper than beginner strains, and the peak lands near 90 minutes.
Duration matches the family standard at 4–6 hours. The intensity is the difference, not the length. Our sheet calls the strain leucistic — mostly white, a step short of true albino — which changes the look, not the ride.
Set and setting at advanced strength
Set and setting do the heavy lifting at this strength. The room and your mood shape the night as much as the grams do.
- Clear the whole evening, and the morning after it.
- Stay somewhere familiar with a short walk to the bathroom.
- Keep a level-headed friend awake and nearby.
- Put the jar away once the dose is weighed.
APE against APE Revert
The two jars share a dosing class. Look and spores are what tell them apart.
- APE: ghost-white caps, clear spores you can barely see.
- APE Revert: pale ivory caps, broader tops, purple spore prints.
- Dosing: the same cut-down rule on both jars.
Our take on this one
The come-up announces itself. Where the baseline strolls in, albino penis envy shrooms arrive inside the hour with weight behind them. We plan nothing else for the day.
One honest limit: it’s more mushroom than most sessions call for. On a weeknight we reach for a milder jar and save this one for a clear weekend.
How to dose albino penis envy shrooms
Take your usual cubensis numbers and cut them 30–50%. The table shows the shift.
| Tier | Standard cubensis | APE (this jar) |
|---|---|---|
| Microdose | 0.1–0.3g | 25–50mg |
| Low | 0.5–1g | 0.5–0.75g |
| Medium | 1.5–2.5g | 0.75–1.5g |
| High | 3g and up | 1–2g |
A 2g APE session is the full show. In practice, 1g of this jar covers what 2g of Golden Teacher does. Use a scale every time, and hold any thought of a redose for a full hour.
How APE compares across our dried mushrooms
Here’s our full dried magic mushrooms ladder, baseline to top.
| Product | Strength | Potency notes | Who it suits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Golden Teacher | Beginner baseline | About 1.17% total tryptamines | First trips and easy sessions. |
| Slim Shady | Intermediate | 1.2–1.5x the baseline | Regulars ready for more push. |
| Purple Mystic | Intermediate | Just below the advanced tier | The last stop before this jar. |
| Albino Penis Envy (this jar) | Advanced | About 11.6mg/g psilocybin | Experienced users on cut-down doses. |
| APE Revert | Advanced | Same dosing class as APE | The ivory sibling with purple spores. |
| Watermelon Golden Teacher gummies | Measured doses | 10 x 200mg = 2000mg per pack | Small fixed steps, no scale needed. |

Common questions
How strong are albino penis envy mushrooms?
Community testing puts APE near 11.6mg of psilocybin per gram — among the strongest cubensis strains measured. DoubleBlind reported it at or near the top of 2022 Psilocybin Cup testing. Dose 30–50% lower than a standard strain.
Are APE mushrooms stronger than Golden Teacher?
Yes, by a wide margin. Golden Teacher is the baseline, and DoubleBlind pegs the Penis Envy family at roughly 50–100% stronger than average cubensis. Around 1g of APE matches a 2g baseline session.
How many grams of shrooms should I take?
With APE, fewer than you think. Light sessions run 0.5–0.75g, moderate 0.75–1.5g, and 1–2g is the ceiling for a full session. New to shrooms entirely? Start on a beginner strain, not this jar.
Who created Albino Penis Envy?
John Workman of Sporeworks, who crossed Penis Envy with PF Albino in the mid-2000s. DoubleBlind documented that history with him directly. The older McKenna lore around Penis Envy itself stays legend, not fact.
Is APE okay for a first trip?
We say no. The come-up is sharper and the body load heavier than any beginner strain we stock. Learn your response on Golden Teacher first, then step up through the tiers.
