PE+ Spore Swab
The PE+ Spore Swab offers a fascinating hybrid of the legendary Penis Envy (PE) and a traditional Psilocybe cubensis variety (B+). Known for its robust growth and distinct morphology, PE+ combines the dense structure and potency of PE with the faster colonization and higher spore production of a classic cube. Ideal for microscopy and research, this spore swab provides a unique opportunity to study a strain that bridges two iconic genetic lineages. Each swab is sterile and carefully prepared to ensure the highest quality for your collection.

Description
The PE+ Spore Swab is a must-have for dedicated microscopy enthusiasts and spore collectors. This unique hybrid combines the legendary Penis Envy (PE) with a traditional Psilocybe cubensis strain (B+), creating a fascinating blend of genetics that balances resilience, potency, and growth characteristics. The result is a spore variety that carries the best traits of both parent strains—offering the dense structure and increased potency of Penis Envy while maintaining the faster colonization and higher spore production of a typical Cubensis variety. PE+ spores exhibit the same microscopic traits that make Penis Envy spores highly sought after, yet they tend to be more prolific in production. Their unique genetics make them a great subject for microscopic research, allowing mycologists and hobbyists to compare them with both PE and standard Cubensis strains. If you’ve ever been curious about the evolutionary changes that come with hybridization, PE+ offers a rare opportunity to explore these differences under the microscope.
Product Highlights:
Unique Genetic Lineage: A hybrid between Penis Envy and a standard Cubensis strain, bringing together the best traits of both.
Microscopy-Ready: Each spore swab is carefully collected in sterile conditions to ensure clean samples for research.
More Reliable Spore Production: Unlike traditional Penis Envy spores, which are notoriously difficult to collect due to their poor sporulation, PE+ is more prolific, making it an excellent choice for study.
Sterile & Secure Packaging Each swab is sealed in a sterile, resealable bag to maintain purity and longevity.
History and Origins:
PE+ is a unique Psilocybe cubensis hybrid resulting from a cross between B+ and Penis Envy, originally developed by former online community member Rob Young. While Young created several such hybrids, he did not extensively isolate or formally release them to the public. The process of isolating and refining PE+ was later undertaken between 2019 and 2021 by Albinious White, known for developing Avery’s Albinos, alongside Myco Clay. The spores were first acquired in their initial generation (F1), prior to any significant stabilization or isolation work.
Genus: Psilocybe
Species: Cubensis
Variety: Penis Envy
Spores: Dark purplish brown, subellipsoid, 11 by 8 micrometers on 4-spored basidia. Spores do not release from the fruiting body in a traditional manner.
Habitat: Bovine, Equine Dung and Enriched Soils
Climate: Subtropical
Cap: Often very large in size.
Stem: Bulbous white-yellow appearance often larger in size than the cap. Often spherical in shape and or engorged/bumpy.
Important Considerations:
Our PE+ spore swabs are intended strictly for microscopy and research purposes. They are not for cultivation, consumption, or any unlawful use. Please check your local laws and regulations before purchasing.
