![]() P.cubensis is mind-altering, able to cause a range of effects, including hallucinations, mood-changes, new beliefs or ideas (sometimes classifiable as delusion, sometimes not), and anxiety, or even panic. Many users either buy or grow their supply, making identification less of an issue. The brain discards details deemed unimportant, so until a person has studied mushrooms in an ongoing way for some time (thus teaching the brain that mushroom details are important) the difference between a useful species and its toxic look-alike might literally be invisible. It’s important to remember that noticing certain kinds of details is a learned skill. Several look-alikes do share the same habitat, so it’s unwise for enthusiasts to go foraging on their own unless they have also developed some skill at mushroom identification. ![]() The wild type grows freely in well-watered tropical and sub-tropical areas of almost every continent. The species eats, and usually fruits from, the dung of large grazing animals-not from under dung (a habit other species have). Wild-type caps are brownish, but APE caps are almost white. P.cubensis is a small, often long-stemmed mushroom with a bluish ring that is often stained black by falling spores. cubensis, rather like how the white tigers bred for circuses and zoos are still tigers, not a new species. cubensis, the wild fungus it grew out of-in fact, APE still is P. Original article on APE begins with understanding P. In other words, guys may have women to thank for their greater-than-gorilla-sized genitals.įollow Stephanie Pappas on Twitter and Google+. Men with larger penises, then, may have passed on their genes more readily, resulting in the large-genitals trait being handed down the generations. Human males weigh about half of what gorillas do, but studies peg average erect or flaccid-but-stretched penis length from 4.7 inches (12 cm) to 6.5 inches (16.7 cm).Įvolutionary biologists theorize that large human penises might help remove sperm from competing males during sex, but in an era before clothing, women may have been drawn to mating with men whose genitalia caught their eye. Male humans outgun any other primate species: For example, male gorillas can weigh as much as 400 pounds (180 kilograms), but their erect penis length is only about 1.5 inches (4 cm). ![]() The findings might help explain why humans have remarkably large genitalia given their average body size, the researchers wrote. Women with greater body mass per height were slightly more likely than thinner women to weigh penis size more heavily in their judgments of attractiveness, though the difference was small. Women's own features mattered as well, the researchers found: Taller women were more likely to find taller men attractive. It's possible that a larger penis just looked more proportional on a taller man's body, the researchers wrote, or it could be that women were biased against shorter men to the extent that even large genitals didn't help. When the researchers controlled for shoulder-to-hip ratio, they found that a larger penis had a greater effect on attractiveness for taller men. That's good news for guys, according to a 2001 Italian study that found 2.99 inches flaccid to be below average. Beyond 2.99 inches, however, the additional attractiveness per extra length started to decline. ![]() Though the effect was less extreme, women also preferred larger penises, at least up to 5.1 inches (13 cm) flaccid, which was the largest computer-generated penis in the study. Shoulder-to-hip ratio was a major determiner of attractiveness, accounting for 79.6 percent of the variation in hot-or-not ratings. The results revealed that women preferred taller men as well as high shoulder-to-hip ratios (meaning that the wider the shoulders were than the hip, the more attractive the man). ![]()
