Summary
A compelling finding reveals *Pluteus salicinus* mushrooms contain psilocybin, a potent hallucinogen, with cap concentrations reaching an impressive 1.57%. This natural chemistry analysis, relevant for Psychedelics and Drug Studies, identified psilocybin and baeocystin, but not psilocin, in dried fruit body extracts. Caps consistently held more psilocybin than stems, alongside urea and tryptophan. The presence of these compounds offers insights for Complementary and Alternative Medicine Studies. A correlation between psilocybin and urea content was also observed, deepening our understanding of these fascinating compounds.
Abstract
Using HPLC and TLC, psilocybin and baeocystin but not psilocin were found in extracts of dried fruit bodies of PLUTEUS SALICINUS. Caps contain more psilocybin than stems. The amount of psilocybin varies and was as high as 1.57% in the caps. Urea was also detected. This substance is virtually exclusively localized in the caps. Baeocystin and tryptophan were also found only in the caps. There was a correlation between the content of psilocybin and that of urea.
