Question about albino genetics
#27602713 - 01/01/22 05:26 PM (2 years, 4 months ago) |

Can any grower tell me where the penis envy originated or from what wild varieties was the lineage originally propagated? Are the albino occurring varieties found in natural wild mushrooms or are they more of a cultivated abnormality? In all my identification books I’ve looked at, not one albino psilocybe cubensis . Yet many vendors sell the genetics on a swab . I love the APE mushroom to grow and eat it’s not the biggest producer but my favorite. Strong medicine. I appreciate any knowledge , history or fun trivia on the subject of albino mushrooms.

Thanks that is exactly what I was looking for . My experience is to apply a casing late , after fully colonized and a few pins are set . I slice the fruit to accelerate drying and give “ bag appeal “ . It finished like tiny blue mushroom chips .

Here's a podcast by Morris Hamilton interviewing Rich G, the father of original penis envy. https://www.patreon.com/posts/podcast-24-true-53931022
I paid 5 bucks for a month just so I can listen to this 3hr episode, well worth the cost, and learned a lot about the whole magic mushroom revolution from the beginning of home cultivation.
it's created from an Amazon print he obtained from his hairdresser in the 70s.
Albino can most likely happen in nature, but all the albino vendors sell are mutation occurred in lab environment, which was stabilized by selective breeding.
Albino Penis Envy was created by head researcher Workman at Sporeworks, a hybrid of OG Penis Envy and PF Albino.

It was originally known to be an Amazonian phenotype/mutant.
Albinos are a natural phenotype expression, as in the wild.
Albino penis envy specifically was a varietal hybrid with PF Albino.
Albinos happen in the wild but it's going to be very far and few between and never a cluster of them or an entire patch. They are generally rare abnormalities.

Jeez Bod must be getting older or something. If you use the search button and then do some reading you'll learn a lot.
Like the other dude said Workman did it
use the search button for that too, or just go to the Shroomery User List and go to Workman, then go to Workmans profile and read that like it's the Bible

In one of Hamilton’s interview it’s mentioned that the original penis envy was started from a dark blue abort that was crossed back and stabilized. Always selected the bluest fruits an ended up with original PE . The whole blood stained envelope story is claimed to be a fiction as no one had this man’s address. So there’s a couple different stories. Some mystery and intrigue are good shit ! Kudos to sporeworks for the APE ! Makes me want to run some mixed multi spore jars and start manipulating genetics through selective propagation.
