International Journal of Crude Drug Research January 1, 1989 J. Gartz 27 citations
Analysis of ten fruit bodies of the mushroom Inocybe aeruginascens found that its content of the indole derivative aeruginascin was comparable to the amounts of psilocybin or baeocystin. The levels of psilocybin, baeocystin, and aeruginascin were correlated. Aeruginascin appears to alter the pharmacological effects of psilocybin, consistently producing a euphoric mood when the mushrooms are ingested.
