Penis Envy XL Mushroom Grow Bag

The Penis Envy XL Mushroom Grow Bag contains a fully colonized substrate with Psilocybe cubensis Penis Envy mycelium. This well-known variety is distinguished by its compact growth habit, sturdy fruiting bodies, and relatively slow development. Because the substrate is already fully colonized, several preparatory steps of the cultivation process have already been completed.

Penis Envy is a striking variety within the Psilocybe cubensis family. The mushrooms typically develop thick stems and relatively compact caps. The growth cycle can take longer than several classic cubensis varieties, making patience and stable conditions important during cultivation.

Due to its specific growth characteristics, Penis Envy is primarily chosen by growers who already have some experience and want to grow a unique Psilocybe cubensis variety.

Grow Penis Envy mushrooms yourself

The Penis Envy XL Mushroom Grow Bag contains 2200 ml fully colonized substrate. This means you don’t have to inoculate with spores or prepare the substrate yourself. The grow bag can be prepared for the fruiting phase according to the included instructions.

Under suitable conditions, the total yield according to product specifications can reach approximately 700 g of fresh mushrooms. The actual yield varies per grow and depends on factors such as temperature, air exchange, hygiene, and general care.

Penis Envy typically develops slower than several other cubensis varieties. It is therefore important to give the mycelium enough time and not to open or move the grow bag unnecessarily.

What are the effects of Penis Envy mushrooms?

Penis Envy belongs to the psilocybin-containing Psilocybe cubensis varieties. The ultimate experience with psilocybin can vary greatly per person and is influenced by dosage, individual sensitivity, environment, and mindset.

• Altered perception: colors, shapes, and patterns may be experienced differently.
• Altered thought patterns: thoughts and the perception of time and surroundings may change.
• Visual effects: depending on the amount, visual changes may occur.
• Introspective experience: some users experience a stronger focus on thoughts and personal experience.

The amount of active compounds in natural mushrooms can vary per harvest and even per individual fruiting body. A specific potency can therefore not be guaranteed.

Penis Envy within the Psilocybe cubensis family

Penis Envy is one of the better-known varieties of Psilocybe cubensis. The precise historical origin is not fully documented, but the variety has become well-known within the mycological world for its striking appearance and distinct growth characteristics.

Compared to varieties like Golden Teacher and B+, Penis Envy typically develops slower. The fruiting bodies often have thick stems and relatively compact caps. This makes the species easy to distinguish from many classically shaped cubensis varieties.

Step 1 – Inspect the grow bag

Carefully check the grow bag before you start cultivation.

Check:

• ✅ The mycelium is white or yellowish-white.
• ✅ The grow bag is completely intact.

Do not use the grow bag if:

• ❌ Green, black, red, or pink spots are visible.
• ❌ The bag is damaged or leaking.

Is the grow bag contaminated or damaged?
If so, contact customer service before starting the grow.

Step 2 – Work hygienically

A clean working method helps limit the risk of contamination during the cultivation process.

1. Wash your hands and forearms thoroughly with antibacterial soap.
2. Disinfect your hands and the work surface.
3. Tie back long hair.
4. Preferably wear sterile gloves and a face mask.
5. Work in a clean and draft-free space.

Important: only open the grow bag when the first mushroom pins (pins) are visible.

Step 3 – Activate the grow bag

1. Place the grow bag in a bright spot with indirect sunlight.
2. Keep the temperature between 23 and 27°C.
3. Ensure the temperature never exceeds 27°C.

Penis Envy can develop relatively slowly. Therefore, keep conditions as constant as possible and give the mycelium enough time.

Step 4 – Let the mushrooms grow

Once the first pins are visible:

1. Make a small opening at the top of the bag for fresh air.
2. Are the mushrooms growing further and do they need more space? Then remove a strip of 2 to 4 cm from the top of the bag.

A small slit may be visible under the air filter of the grow bag. This opening was made by the manufacturer to vent excess CO₂ and built-up pressure when the bag becomes bloated. This is normal and the opening does not need to be taped shut.

Step 5 – Harvest the mushrooms

1. First repeat the hygiene steps from Step 2.
2. Harvest the mushrooms according to the recommended harvest time in the manual.
3. Gently twist the mushrooms loose and remove them from the substrate.
4. After harvesting, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for further use of the substrate.

Tips

• Touch the grow bag as little as possible to prevent contamination.
• Ensure sufficient fresh air and indirect light.
• Preferably keep the temperature between 24 and 27°C.
• Avoid large temperature fluctuations.
• Give Penis Envy enough time due to its relatively slow development.
• Work with clean hands and clean materials during every step.
• Always follow the included MysticFungi manual.

How do I store the Penis Envy Grow Kit?

For the best results, start the cultivation as soon as possible after receipt. If you want to use the grow kit later, delay may affect the condition and ultimate performance of the mycelium.

If you cannot start immediately, the grow kit can be stored for a maximum of about two weeks in the refrigerator at 2°C to 8°C. Leave the grow bag with mycelium in its original packaging and use a clean refrigerator without visible mold.

For extra protection, the packaging can be placed in a clean plastic bag or an additional grow bag. Do not leave the kit outside the recommended storage conditions for unnecessarily long periods.
