In the past few decades, tripping on psychedelics has gone from being dismissed as dangerous and life-threatening to something that opens your mind and expands your imagination. In fact, it can also lead to a permanent change in perspective.
Substances like LSD, DMT, and magic mushrooms are, of course, illegal but have become a lot more open to discussion today. Let’s talk about penis envy mushrooms.
Introduction

Penis envy mushrooms are a variant or strain of Psilocybin mushrooms, otherwise known as magic mushrooms, with their own unique history and trip sensation. The main compound in magic mushrooms that’s responsible for making you high and hallucinate is called Psilocybin.
Penis envy mushroom gets its weird name on account of its phallic shape. It’s an incredibly potent hallucinogenic that’s being widely studied and discussed today. Penis envy mushroom is also the most enigmatic mushroom on this planet. The truth of its origins is still unknown.
History

Terrence McKenna was an American ethnobotanist who strongly advocated for the responsible use of organic psychedelic substances. He noted the significance mushrooms had across different historical cultures as well as religions for spiritual practices and rituals.
There’s no evidence for where and when penis envy mushrooms came to be, but according to the court of public opinion, it originated deep in the Amazon rainforest. Some even say it came from a large mushroom.
The theory goes that Terrence Mckenna was the first person to carry the Amazonian Cubensis species to his store where he used the spores to grow more.
A recent lab discovery revealed that penis envy mushrooms are the result of a recessive genetic mutation that reverts them to looking like a cubensis mushroom.
It basically means that some mushrooms must exhibit two mutated copies in order to exhibit the properties of the original mushroom. However, this only makes tracing them back to the source all the more difficult for scientists.
Effects and Characteristics
