Summary
Psilocybin, a potent psychedelic compound, has been definitively identified in native *Psilocybe semilanceata* and *P. coprinifacies* mushrooms from Czechoslovakia. This marks the first confirmation for *P. semilanceata* in its natural habitat and a new discovery for *P. coprinifacies*. Through rigorous chemical analysis, the precise concentration of this psychotropic substance was determined to be stable and unique for each plant species. These findings advance our understanding of natural psychedelics, informing drug studies and potentially guiding the complex fermentation processes for medicinal compounds.
Abstract
Thin-layer chromatography confirmed the presence of psilocybin in Psilocybe semilanceata and P. coprinifacies collected in Czechoslovakia. In P. semilanceata , this is the first proof of psilocybin in native fruit bodies. For P. coprinifacies , it is a new finding. The concentration of psychotropic compounds was species-specific and stable. Psilocin was not definitively detected.
