Albino Penis Envy Spores: Syringes, Prints & Isolates

Albino Penis Envy is the pale form of the Penis Envy line, with white fruit bodies and the same thick stem and small cap. The usual story is a cross between Penis Envy and the PF Albino line, though the pedigree is not documented and several versions of the account circulate.

The albino trait means the print is near colourless rather than purple-brown, so APE syringes look faint and are sometimes mistaken for empty. That is normal, and the spores are there under the microscope: subellipsoid, in the usual cubensis range of about 11 to 17 by 7 to 10 micrometres. APE is sold mostly as isolate syringes and swabs; prints are rarer because the line sporulates lightly, and the label should give the generation.
