P. Cubensis “Albino Penis Envy” Isolated Spore Syringe

Disclaimers

APE Isolated Spore Syringes are considered “active spores” which are for microscopy purposes only. DO NOT CONTACT US ABOUT ANYTHING REGARDING CULTIVATING OR GERMINATING APE ISO’S. 

Shipping is unavailable to California, Idaho, & Georgia. These 3 states strictly prohibit the possession of spores of both psilocybin and psilocin producing mushroom species. Orders to these states will be refused and subsequently voided. Any payments made for orders to CA, ID, or GA will incur a $5 cancellation fee.

We do not condone or participate in the cultivation of psilocybin or psilocin producing mushroom species. 

APE ISO Information

Isolated spore syringes, also known as ISO syringes, contain mushroom genetics that are more stabilized than a normal multispore syringe (MSS). Great care has been taken to isolate the strongest, fastest, and most hardy genetics that will provide vigorous and more consistent research under the microscope. Multispore syringes contain a great deal of genetic diversity, and therefore can present a multitude of different phenotypes. On the other hand, isolated spore syringes have been stabilized in order to present only one phenotype which will provide the most optimized and consistent research. 

A mycologist by the name of Workman introduced the Albino Penis Envy strain to the Shroomery forum. There he explains his hybridization process by saying, “This is a varietal hybrid of the Penis Envy strain and the original PF Albino selected for penis shaped caps and albinism. It is unclear if UV exposure is responsible for the original PF albinism since the mutation did appear spontaneously. But at any rate, genetic damage by UV exposure is random and is likely to cause detrimental mutations in addition to albinism. So it might be possible to create an albino Penis Envy strain with only UV exposure, but the effect would be random and would likely result in a less vigorous strain… Crossing a damaged strain like the PF albino with a healthier strain and selecting for albinism can ultimately produce a better albino strain” (Workman, 2007)

Microscopic Features

When you buy APE spores it’s important to note that because they are an albino variety, they will have transparent spores. When spores are clear they can bruise blue leading the swab to appear blue rather than clear. Once you put them under the microscope, they will be clear. The spores themselves have a subellipsoid (ellipse) shape and they are present on a 4-spored basidia. The caps are 20-30mm in diameter and have a concave shape to a little convex. The caps also rarely open, even when mature. Because of that, they are very low spore producers and it is almost impossible to get a spot print from this variety.
