Steam Distilling medicinal essential oils?
    #4536007 - 08/14/05 10:38 PM (18 years, 7 months ago)

Don't know if this is the right forum, but here goes. I'm wondering if one could steam distill an essential oil of a mushroom. For example; in reishi mushrooms there are a lot of target compounds that one may be interested in. Polysaccarides, triterpenoids, nucleotides, glycoproteins, etc. Most extractions are either;
1. Hot water extraction
2. Cold water extraction
3. Alcohol extraction
and any combination thereof. (I know I'm missing some.)
Usually the combinations of these methods contain the most bioactive materials, so one has to go through several extraction processes (still no problem when considering many of these mushrooms are known to aid in the fight against cancer - successfully, and well documented).

Steam distillation of herbs, root barks, flowers, etc. gives us many wonderful pure essential oils. Anyone know if this can be done? Tried it? One day I will, so I'll keep ya'll posted.
Light and Love,
Jeremy Davis

Bro...I just want to let you know you were ahead of the game with this question!
This was posted 14 years ago you probably got kids trippin on shrooms now lol.
Seriously tho, I came across this thread because I have the very same question. It seems after 14 yrs there is still relatively no information online as to whether it is possible.
I think it is very much possible! I plan on experimenting to find out. I own a steam distillation apparatus with the capability to distill a decent amount of plant matter.
Based on the information that I can find it seems that psilocybin is very water soluble and I see no reason why thru a process of distillation I would not be able to extract the psilocybin like I would collect hydrosol.

All I need is shrooms for this experiment. Which I dont have...gimme like 3 months lol...imma be back promise and imma let y'all know whether it worked or not.
