Country Cock — Spore Swab Cloud920®

About Country Cock and Where the Name Comes From

The name is a portmanteau, a name that mixes two words. "Country" points to the Hillbilly Alabama-landrace heritage. "Cock" points to the phallic Penis Envy fruit shape. Country Cock is a Hillbilly × PE hybrid. It is a Psilocybe cubensis (a mushroom species from the Psilocybe family). Three competing parent claims circulate. That is why voucher-level microscopy matters here. It means microscopy done carefully enough to confirm the species.

How Country Cock Was Made

Country Cock sits in the Hybrid Fusion series. Candeliverny attributes it to breeder Jason Wilson — that is a single-source attribution. Three parent claims circulate. First: Hillbilly (Alabama landrace) × Penis Envy (Psilocybin Myco, Sporeswaps). Second: Hillbilly × Southwest Penis Envy (Candeliverny, tied to the Jason Wilson claim). Third: just "Penis Envy family" with no Hillbilly cross stated (Zombie Mushrooms). The most likely reading is Hillbilly × Penis Envy. The specific PE variant and the breeder are still unconfirmed.

The family table, honestly:

• Genetic Series: Hybrid Fusion. Hillbilly × Penis Envy (most likely).
• Country of origin: United States. The Hillbilly parent is the wild Alabama landrace.
• Developer: Jason Wilson. Single-source attribution via Candeliverny.
• Cross options: classic PE, Southwest PE (SWPE), or general PE-family. Unresolved.
• Name: portmanteau (a name that mixes two words).
• "Country" for the Hillbilly line. "Cock" for the PE shape.
• Other names: Country-Cock. Sometimes "Cocked Country" in vendor listings.

What Country Cock Looks Like Under the Microscope

Country Cock reads as a PE-family fruit in country-strain colours. Caps are light brown to golden bronze. They often go cracked or wavy when older. Stems are tall, curved, thick and dense. They are often thicker than the cap they carry. Colour goes from white to cream. Blue bruising shows up strongly on damage or handling. Single fruits have been reported reaching 200 g. That is a sign of the strong PE heritage.

What defines the fruit under the scope:

• Cap colour: light brown to golden bronze. Often cracked or wavy when older.
• Cap shape: medium-small. Rounded to slightly stretched.
• Cap size: not listed in cm (medium-small).
• Stem: tall, curved, thick and dense. Often thicker than the cap. White to cream.
• Bruising: strong bluish colour on damage or handling.

How Country Cock Behaves in the Lab

This cultivation data is here only as reference for identification. It shows how the strain behaves in a lab.

Country Cock is rated intermediate difficulty. This fits the Penis Envy family. Fruiting temperature is not documented for Country Cock. It is assumed to sit in the typical PE range of 21–24°C. The single-fruit 200 g+ record deserves its own line on the slide label.

Numbers from lab conditions:

• Growth speed: colonisation not documented.
• Best temperature: not documented. Assumed 21–24°C (typical PE range).
• Colonisation window: not documented.
• Recorded flushes: multiple (typical cubensis).
• Yield: moderate. Single fruits reported reaching 200 g and above.
• Difficulty: 3/5. Intermediate.
