Penis Envy Chocolate from STEM
Penis Envy chocolate pairs a mushroom strain known for its potency with our Belgian Callebaut chocolate. Every bar in this collection is made with Penis Envy mushrooms, and every product page lists the total mushroom weight and the amount per piece, so you always know what you are taking.
We make our bars in small batches in BC. We believe that by changing our minds, we can change our lives, and we think a strain this well known deserves clear labels and honest guidance. Here is what makes Penis Envy different, how our eight bars compare, and how to start low.
What Makes Penis Envy Different
Penis Envy is a variety of Psilocybe cubensis, a species of magic mushroom. Medical News Today describes it as "a particularly potent variety" of the species, named for its swollen, rounded cap and thick stem (Medical News Today).
A 2025 review of P. cubensis strains in the Journal of Fungi notes that the Penis Envy strain is known for its exceptional potency and distinct shape. The same review points out that psilocybin levels vary both between strains and between individual mushrooms of the same strain (Kurzbaum et al., 2025). That is exactly why we label every bar by weight and per piece.

Penis Envy Microdose Bars
Five of our Penis Envy bars use our standard format: 3 grams of Penis Envy mushroom split into 15 pieces, which is 200 mg per piece. Cut a piece in half for 100 mg or into quarters for 50 mg for a microdose routine.
Penis Envy Dark Matter Bar
The Penis Envy Dark Matter bar is made with Callebaut Belgian dark chocolate, rich and bittersweet. It is 100% vegan and costs $80.
Penis Envy Milky Way Bar
The Penis Envy Milky Way bar uses Callebaut Belgian milk chocolate for a sweeter, creamier bite. Same 3 grams, same 200 mg pieces, $80.
Penis Envy Cookies and Cream Dreams Bar
The Penis Envy Cookies and Cream Dreams bar is made with Callebaut Belgian white chocolate and a cookie crumble. It holds 3 grams in 15 pieces of 200 mg and costs $80.
Premium Passionfruit Triptych
The Passionfruit Triptych is one of our premium bars, made with the Penis Envy mushroom variety. It follows the 3 gram, 15 piece format at 200 mg per piece, and it costs $130.
Yuzu and Me
Yuzu and Me is our citrus premium bar, also made with Penis Envy mushrooms. Same 3 grams in 15 pieces of 200 mg, at $150. It is the top of our Penis Envy range.
Penis Envy 6 Gram Bars
Our three 6 gram bars are for adults who plan a full psilocybin experience. Each holds 6 grams of Penis Envy mushroom split into 6 pieces, so every piece carries 1 gram. We suggest starting with half a piece (500 mg).
- Penis Envy 6 Gram Dark Matter: Belgian dark chocolate, vegan, $105.
- Penis Envy 6 Gram Milky Way: Belgian milk chocolate, $105.
- Penis Envy 6 Gram Cookies and Cream: Belgian white chocolate, $105.
A 1 gram piece is a large amount for a strain this potent. Plan it for a calm day, a safe place and a trusted friend, and never take a full piece the first time.
Dark, Milk or White: Choosing Your Penis Envy Bar
Let's break it down. Every Penis Envy bar comes in one of three chocolates, and the dose format is the same across all of them.

Why Choose Penis Envy as Chocolate
Here is why we put Penis Envy in chocolate instead of selling it dried. Health Canada notes that potency varies between mushrooms and batches, and the 2025 Journal of Fungi review found variability within a single strain as well as between strains. With a strain known for its strength, guessing your dose from a handful of dried mushrooms is a real risk.
Our bars take the guesswork out. Each bar holds a set weight of Penis Envy mushroom divided across scored pieces, so you can take a quarter, a half or a whole piece and know the amount every time. The chocolate also makes it far easier to eat, since many people find raw mushrooms bitter and earthy.
There is a trust question too. Researchers at Oregon State University bought 12 "magic mushroom" edibles from shops in Portland, Oregon, and found that none of them contained psilocybin, while seven held ingredients that were not on the label (Oregon State University). We think you should always know who made your chocolate and what is in it. Every STEM product page names the strain, the total weight and the amount per piece.
How to Dose Penis Envy Chocolate
Because Penis Envy is known for its potency, we suggest starting lower than you might with other bars. Next steps for a first try:
- Start with a quarter piece (50 mg) of a 200 mg bar.
- Wait at least two hours before you decide how it feels. Do not take more in that window.
- Take it on a calm day with no driving and nothing important planned.
- Skip alcohol, cannabis and other drugs.
- Write down the dose, the time and how you felt, and adjust slowly over several sessions.
Why wait two hours? Health Canada says the effects of magic mushrooms usually begin within 15 to 45 minutes and last about four to six hours (Health Canada). A clinical study of oral psilocybin found that psilocin levels peak about 2 hours after a dose (Holze et al., 2023). Our how-to-use guide and our guide on how long shroom chocolates take to kick in walk through this step by step.
New to psilocybin altogether? Our microdose collection has gentler options at 100 mg per piece, and you can always move up to Penis Envy later.
A Penis Envy Microdose Routine
If you plan to use a Penis Envy bar for a microdose routine, taking a small amount on set days and tracking how you feel, keep doses small and steady, write everything down, and give yourself rest days.
We also want to be straight with you about the research. Clinical trials at Johns Hopkins and Imperial College London show promise for psilocybin in depression when it is given at therapeutic doses with professional support. Microdosing research is earlier: the largest placebo-controlled microdosing study, run by Imperial College London with 191 people, found that both the microdose group and the placebo group felt better, with no clear difference between them (Szigeti et al., eLife, 2021). In our view, that makes a careful, journaled routine even more useful. Decide what works for you based on how you actually feel.
Psilocybin is not an approved treatment in Canada, and STEM chocolates are not intended to diagnose, treat or cure any condition.
Penis Envy Gifts
Shopping for someone who loves Penis Envy? Our premium Passionfruit Triptych and Yuzu and Me bars both come in our seasonal and gift collection, and they make a striking gift for an adult who has chosen to try psilocybin. Always tell the person exactly what the bar is, how much is in each piece and how to start low.
Penis Envy and Makilla Gorilla
Many of our non-Penis Envy bars use Makilla Gorilla, a cross of the Penis Envy and Melmac strains. If you like Penis Envy but want a different option, our guide to Makilla Gorilla mushrooms explains how the two compare. Our standard Dark Matter bar and our microdose bon bons are made with Makilla Gorilla.
Safety and Legal Notes
The law. Psilocybin is a controlled substance in Canada. Health Canada states that selling, possessing or producing psilocybin is illegal unless Health Canada authorizes it, and that no psilocybin therapeutic product is approved. Read our Canadian legal guide and check the rules where you live.
Side effects. Medical News Today notes that psilocybin can cause anxiety or paranoia, temporary hallucinations and short-term changes in thinking and emotion, and that a rare condition called hallucinogen-persisting perception disorder can cause flashbacks. Health Canada warns that mixing psilocybin with alcohol, cannabis or other drugs raises the risk of serious side effects, and that it raises heart rate and blood pressure. If you have a heart condition, a personal or family history of psychiatric illness, or take medication, talk to a health care professional first.
Children and pets. Penis Envy chocolate looks like a regular chocolate bar. Poison centre data from 55 US centres showed psilocybin calls among teens more than tripled between 2019 and 2022, and the lead researcher warned that young children may mistake edibles for candy (MDedge). Keep every bar sealed, labelled and out of reach.
Storing Your Penis Envy Bars
STEM bars have a shelf life of 8 months to 1 year when stored in a cool, dark place. Keep each bar in its packaging, away from heat, sunlight and moisture. Our guide on how long shroom chocolates last covers storage in more detail.
Penis Envy Chocolate FAQs
Is Penis Envy stronger than other mushrooms?
Penis Envy is widely described as one of the most potent varieties of Psilocybe cubensis. A 2025 Journal of Fungi review notes its exceptional potency, and also that psilocybin levels vary between and within strains. That is why we suggest starting with a quarter piece and reading the per-piece amount on every bar.
Which Penis Envy bar is best for a beginner?
Choose a 200 mg piece bar, such as the Penis Envy Dark Matter, Milky Way or Cookies and Cream, and start with a quarter piece (50 mg). Leave the 6 gram bars for later. If you have never tried psilocybin, start with our 100 mg microdose bars first.
Are Penis Envy chocolate bars vegan?
The Penis Envy Dark Matter bar and the Penis Envy 6 Gram Dark Matter bar are vegan. Our milk and white chocolate Penis Envy bars contain dairy, so check each product page for the full ingredient list.
How much Penis Envy is in each bar?
Our 200 mg bars hold 3 grams of Penis Envy mushroom split into 15 pieces. Our 6 gram bars hold 6 grams split into 6 pieces of 1 gram. Every product page lists the amount per piece.
How long does Penis Envy chocolate take to kick in?
Health Canada says magic mushroom effects usually begin within 15 to 45 minutes and last about four to six hours. Chocolate is a food, so it can take a little longer on a full stomach. Wait at least two hours before taking more.
Can I take Penis Envy chocolate with other STEM bars?
We suggest one bar and one dose at a time. Mixing different bars on the same day makes it hard to know how much you have taken or which bar caused which effect. Pick one Penis Envy bar, start with a quarter piece, and keep notes before you try another.
Does Penis Envy chocolate taste different?
In our experience, the chocolate leads the flavour in every bar. The dark bars are bittersweet, the Milky Way bars are creamy, the Cookies and Cream bars are sweet, and the premium bars bring fruit to the front. Pick the chocolate you already love.
Where does the name come from?
The name comes from the mushroom's shape. Medical News Today describes Penis Envy as having a swollen, rounded cap and a thick stem.
