About
Albino Monkey Dick is a rare and powerful leucistic hybrid strain of Psilocybe cubensis, descended from the iconic Penis Envy and Albino genetics. This strain stands out for its ghostly white fruiting bodies, massive, phallic shape, and extraordinarily high psilocybin potency, often resulting in deeply introspective, visually intense, and emotionally cathartic experiences.
History
Derived from hybridizing Penis Envy variants with Albino strains (such as Albino A+), Albino Monkey Dick was selectively bred for its potency, aesthetics, and size. It represents an evolution of both the Penis Envy family’s physical characteristics and the leucistic expression of albino types, creating a unique and hard-hitting strain for advanced users.
Cultivators prize this strain for its dense, slow-growing fruits and impressive appearance, while users regard it as one of the most powerful cubensis experiences available.
Overview
Albino Monkey Dick mushrooms feature thick, bulbous stems, small or undeveloped caps, and a pale white to cream coloration with strong blue bruising. The strain often displays minimal spore production, as is common with Penis Envy-type genetics.
Effects are described as intense and immersive, with powerful closed-eye visuals, ego dissolution, emotional breakthroughs, and profound spiritual depth. It is not recommended for beginners due to its strength, but it's ideal for therapeutic settings, ceremonial journeys, and experienced psychonauts seeking a transformative experience.
Physical Characteristics
Caps:
Small to medium size, smooth texture, white color due to albinism, often with slight blue bruising.
Gills:
Attachment adnate to adnexed, initially light-colored, turning dark purple to black as spores mature.
Cognitive Effects
Perceptual
May stimulate creative thinking and perceptual changes.
Psychoactive Effects
Euphoric
Users often experience a sense of heightened happiness and well-being.
Helps With
Depression
Can potentially alleviate symptoms of depression in some users.
Anxiety
May help reduce anxiety levels temporarily.
Possible Side Effects
Nausea
Some users may experience stomach discomfort and nausea.
Paranoid
High doses can lead to feelings of paranoia or anxiety.

Phylogenomics of the psychoactive mushroom genus Psilocybe and evolution of the psilocybin biosynthetic gene cluster
Therapeutic use of psilocybin from “magic mushrooms” is revolutionizing mental health treatment for many conditions, including depression, PTSD, and end-of-life care. However, knowledge of Psilocybe diversity and its evolutionary history is substantially incomplete. Our study presents the most extensive phylogenomic dataset across Psilocybe to date, with 23 samples derived from type specimens. Using ~3,000 single-copy gene families, we recovered a robust and well-supported phylogeny. Mapping psilocybin biosynthetic gene orthologs on the phylogeny revealed two types of gene cluster order corresponding to a deep split in the genus. Molecular dating suggests psilocybin biosynthesis arose in Psilocybe ~67 mya, concurrent with the K-Pg mass extinction event. A significant advancement in the understanding of Psilocybe evolution and psilocybin biosynthesis is presented.
