Golden Penis Envy Spore Syringe

Golden Penis Envy is what happens when you cross the two most famous cubensis strains in the world. A true hybrid of Golden Teacher and Penis Envy, this strain combines the reliable spore production and golden coloration of GT with the dense morphological characteristics and research interest of PE. The result is more accessible than standard Penis Envy — it drops spores more readily — while retaining PE-lineage traits that make it visually and microscopically distinct from vanilla cubensis.

Microscopy Characteristics

Golden Penis Envy spores are ellipsoid to subellipsoid, dark purplish-brown, measuring approximately 8.5–10.5 x 6–7 micrometres — larger than Golden Teacher but slightly smaller than standard PE. Cell wall thickness is moderate to thick, intermediate between the two parent strains. Spore output is significantly better than standard PE. Caps are convex, golden to golden-brown (the GT influence), with stems thicker than Golden Teacher but less exaggerated than pure PE.

Strain Background

Golden Penis Envy is a deliberate cross between Golden Teacher and Penis Envy, developed by breeders in the mycology community who wanted to combine GT’s accessibility with PE’s distinctive genetics. The breeding logic: PE is the most sought-after research strain but its poor spore production makes it scarce. By crossing the two, breeders created a strain that addresses PE’s biggest limitation while maintaining its morphological interest.

Storage & Handling

Store the Golden Penis Envy spore syringe at 2–8°C (35–46°F) in a dark location. Do not freeze. Viable for 6–12 months when properly refrigerated. Shake gently before use to redistribute settled spore material.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Golden Penis Envy a cross of?
Golden Penis Envy is a hybrid of Golden Teacher and Penis Envy. It combines Golden Teacher’s reliable spore production and golden coloration with Penis Envy’s dense morphological characteristics and distinctive growth patterns.

Is Golden Penis Envy a good entry point for studying PE genetics?
Yes — one of the best. Standard PE’s low spore output makes it harder and more expensive to study. GPE gives you PE-lineage morphology with Golden Teacher-level spore availability.
