Summary
AI-generated from the abstractThe mushroom species Inocybe aeruginascens contains the psychoactive alkaloids psilocybin and baeocystin, along with aeruginascin (a compound of unknown structure), in both caps and stipes. The amounts of psilocybin and baeocystin varied among mushrooms collected from the same location and of similar mass. No correlation was found between mushroom mass and the content of either alkaloid. However, there was a strong correlation between the levels of psilocybin and baeocystin. The location where the mushrooms grew did not appear to relate to the content of these indole derivatives.

Abstract
INOCYBE AERUGINASCENS contains psilocybin, baeocystin, and aeruginascin with a still unknown structure in the caps and the stipes. The content of psilocybin and baeocystin has been investigated. The psilocybin and baeocystin content of mushrooms from the same location and with similar mass varied. No correlation has been found between the mass of the mushrooms and the content of psilocybin and baeocystin. There was an extensive correlation between the content of psilocybin and baeocystin. No relation between the location and the content of the indole derivatives seems to exist.
