Psilocin and Psilocybin are very polar molecules, which means that they will dissolve in solar solvents (such as water, alcohols, some acids. It will probably be insoluble in non-polar solvents such as Ether, Chloroform, White/Mineral spirits, Toluene, and the like.

Now why would you want to bring back a 3 year 4 month old thread?

They obviously finished their discussion long ago. Not to rag on ya or anything.......

i kinda do want to bring it back as well. shroom seasons coming up soon and ive read through all of the posts on extraction and their not clear at all. i came across this idea with the old alexander shulgin question, and the guys doing that extraction just threw in some dried shrooms with high % ethanol. how hard can it be?

not exactly, they just have polar ends. psilocybin is actually amphipathic (a zwitterion); the terminal amine has a slightly positive charge, while the phosphoryloxy group is slightly negative. the overall molecule is neutral.

Just wondering if anyone ever tried any of these experiments. Sorry I'm not more helpful myself, but I don't actually use shrooms very often (once a year or less).
We know that psilocybin is soluble in hot water. I've tested this.

i did alot of extractions with 70% isopropyl alcohol. i would let the shrooms soak for 24 hours in mason jars,then let the jar sit in some hot water(not boiling) to heat up the mix then i would pass all the alcohol and shrooms through a coffee filter squeezing all the juice out of the shrooms.then i would re- filter the golden amber liquid. i would place the liquid in a flat circular cooking pan. and cook the alcohol at very low heat if you see bubbles comming out its too hot. the alcohol must not boil just evaporate alot faster. once all the alcohol is gone you will have a sticky red brown goo looking just like isopropil cannabis oilbut with the smell of shrooms lol. you can cook it to a pretty solid consistency. and is very potent with an ounce of dry cubensis i would get like 5-6 grams of that extract.it will dissolve in warm water quite easly.you can also fit quite a good dose in a pill capsule each capsule being a + easly.eat 5 and you're there.
