Two Psilocybe mushroom species from the Venezuelan Andes, P. montana and P. pseudobullacea, were analyzed for the hallucinogens psilocybin and psilocin using thin-layer chromatography and UV spectroscopy. Psilocybin and psilocin were detected in P. pseudobullacea, while P. montana contained neither compound.
