APE

Albino Penis Envy (APE) is one of the most legendary and potent strains in the Psilocybe cubensis family, combining the intense psilocybin strength of Penis Envy with a leucistic (pale or ghost-white) appearance. Known for producing profound ego dissolution, vivid closed-eye visuals, and spiritual breakthroughs, APE is favored by experienced users seeking transformational and ceremonial-level trips.

History

APE is the result of crossbreeding and stabilizing Penis Envy genetics with Albino traits, most notably Albino A+. It was likely developed by underground breeders in the early 2000s aiming to enhance the already powerful Penis Envy lineage with rare aesthetics and cleaner alkaloid profiles.

It’s considered a premium strain in the psychedelic community, often reserved for advanced sessions due to its elevated potency and intensity.

Overview

APE mushrooms are typically short and thick, with dense white to bluish-white stems and small or no cap—a mutation inherited from Penis Envy. They bruise an intense dark blue almost instantly due to their high psilocybin content, and often produce few or no spores.

The effects of APE are known to be long-lasting, highly introspective, and deeply emotional. Users report out-of-body experiences, cosmic visions, and emotional release, making APE ideal for spiritual rituals, therapeutic journeys, and high-level entheogenic work. It’s not recommended for beginners due to its unforgiving strength.
