In 1996, honey jars labeled as containing Stropharia cubensis (Psilocybe cubensis) were confiscated at the Dutch-German border. Microscopic analysis of a surface layer of particles revealed mushroom tissue and spores typical of Psilocybe. Chemical analysis using HPLC with mass spectrometry and diode array detection identified psilocine but not psilocybine. Quantification was difficult due to matrix interference. The honey with Psilocybe could be purchased in Dutch coffee shops without restrictions, even though psilocine and psilocybine are listed substances under Dutch law.
