The Occurrence of Psilocybin and Psilocin in Finnish Fungi
Journal of Natural Products – July 01, 1987
Source: OpenAlex
Summary
Finnish fungi are a significant natural source of Psilocybin, a potent hallucinogen. Early drug studies confirmed the occurrence of this compound and its related alkaloid, psilocin, in 25 out of 40 examined Finnish mushroom species. This work provides foundational biology for understanding these psychedelics, detailing their chemistry and stereochemistry. Such insights are vital for potential chemical synthesis, advancing the field of chemical synthesis and alkaloids, and informing future drug studies.
