Cultivating the Avery Albino mushroom demands meticulous attention to detail and specific environmental conditions. It thrives in a substrate made up of nutrient-rich ingredients grains, coco coir, brown rice flour, and vermiculate, just as the majority of Psilocybe cubensis strains. Ensuring steady humidity and temperature levels is important for successful cultivation, as Avery Albino is particularly sensitive to fluctuations, necessitating a careful and attentive approach.
Origins of Avery’s Albino Mushroom
There’s a lot of debate about the origins and the creator of Avery’s Albino strain, placing it under a veil of mystery. Some believe it to be a true albino variety of the A-Strain, unlike Albino A+. Others claim it is an albino isolation of the Cambodian strain. Avery’s Albino shares characteristics with all the strains mentioned, making it difficult to determine which theory is accurate.
However, according to Shroomery a user named “Albinous White,” claimed that he cloned a Cambodian albino mutation several times until the new genetics got stabilized. Rumor has it that he named this strain after his daughter, Avery.
Avery’s Albino Potency and Effects
In terms of Psilocybe cubensis strain potency, Avery’s Albino is ordinary. Although high-potency strains are highly anticipated because of their ability to provide strong trips, any P. cubensis may produce a specific degree of intensity with the right dosage.
When looking at Avery’s Albino samples that entered the Oakland Hyphae Cup we can see that on average this mushroom strain has 0.58% psilocybin and 0.04% psilocybin resulting in a total tryptamine content of around 0.65%. However, some samples had over 0.80% of total tryptamines, showcasing how important ideal growing conditions are to achieve more potent mushrooms.

The Effects
Avery’s Albino is often reported to provide a mellow, creative journey. However, numerous factors can influence the nature of a trip, including setting and setting individual body chemistry, and dosage taken.
There are many reports of people experiencing feelings of excitement and euphoria within minutes of consumption. Visuals are described as vivid but also mellow and calming, compared to some more potent strains like Tidal Wave or Penis Envy for example. Only at very high doses psychonauts can experience a dissolution of the ego also known as “Ego Death”.
Growing Avery’s Albino Mushrooms
Avery’s Albino is not a particularly demanding strain to grow, however, it is most suitable for intermediate-level growers. It’s commonly grown on grain-based substrate with techniques such as PF Tek or Monotub method.
As with any P. cubensis strain adequate temperature and humidity control is the most important part when cultivating. Keeping a temperature range of 75-80°F (24-27°C) during colonization and fruiting and humidity levels between 90-95% will yield the best results.
Final Word
Avery’s Albino stands out not just for its striking, ghostly appearance, but also for the unique and often profound experiences it offers. This strain captures the mix of mystery and intrigue that draws many to psilocybin mushrooms.
While not as potent as some of the strongest strains out there, Avery’s Albino offers a unique and mellow experience that can be enjoyable when in a positive set and setting.
