I've read that this is possible, but have never tried it on shrooms. I did it with marijuana a couple of years back and it worked pretty well. At that time I used Everclear, which I understand isn't totally available everywhere. Soaked the weed in everclear for a week, then strained the liquid and simmered the alcohol off on an electric stove. I don't know if that temp is too high for psilocybin, you might just try letting the alcohol evaporate off. Takes longer though. I've also heard that pure psilocybin breaks down in a couple/few days, and your best bet is to put it in gelcaps that you keep in the freezer.

Illois - Methyl alcohol works better than ethyl. Go out and buy yourself a bottle of yellow Heet, dry your schrooms cracker hard, grind them up into a powder, soak for several days, filter, evap the methyl alcohol with non-heat like a fan, goo that is left is mostly psilo... 35 to 50mg outta do the job just right. But don't let the methanol in there, make sure you evap it all, I wouldn't take any OH with schrooms, but especially not methyl OH
And Mister Black: THC is more soluable in butane than any alcohols. Basically do the same as above only run the butane over the ground weed and let it drip in a glass or something and evap instead of soaking, the butane takes the THC oil pretty quick. Evap's pretty quick, left with a highly potent hash oil. Works for stems, leaves, and skunk headache weed too...
Anyway sorry to get off topic...

"yellow Heet"? Like the car stuff? That sounds unreal and kinda nasty. Have you tried that?

yellow heet is anhydrous methyl alcohol... And yes, I've tried it, works like a charm, it is used in many applications and extractions... As long as you evaporate it good there is no problem. BTW, red heet is anhydrous isopropyl alcohol, in case you ever need that
Most alcohols are good solvents of psilo, I've found methyl to be the best. Like I said just evap good and there is no problem, a simple smell test will always do the trick.

Umm.. Is it really anhydrous? That doesn't seem right to me for some reason. Also, I don't think that stuff is at all pure. Are you sure that methanol is the only thing in that product? You don't want to be ingesting anything strange.

yes it is 100% anhydrous methyl alcohol... there are other brands, generic brands and such, that state clearly on the bottle "100% anhydrous methyl alcohol or methanol". If you don't think it is anhydrous simply pour some epsom salts through it and that will take up any extra water that might be floating around in there... But I am sure it is 100% methyl alcohol... the only other things they could put in there that wouldn't harm your car would be other types of alcohols, or petrolium distilates, either of which would evap very easily and would give themselves away by the smell... but I assure you, it is 100% methanol

good advice on the extraction InMyVersion.... there is a slight problem for most of the people here though.. It is really hard for someone without lots of lab experience to eyeball 35-50 mg of an unfamiliar compound. And I'm betting most people don't have milligram scales around here.
so if you are going to do this please be aware that if you don't have a scale that accurately measures out milligrams, then things might get ++ alot++ more intense than you had intended. please be careful
