Ethanol is just strong drinking liqour . Methanol is wood acohol is used as gas dry for your car. Isopropyl should work also . No matter which acohol that u choose make sure that it has the least amount of water that u can get .

afoaf used the fuel addative 'heet' and also wood alcohol with sucess in extractions. I would try to find somthing very pure and make sure that you evaporate everything extremely throughly. If your going to use a commercial or hardware store solvent then make sure you contact the company and ask them if there are any other chimicals added to them. Do your research if your going to be doing extractions with non-lab chems. Alot of chemicals can damage the human body. IE: methanol, if not fully evaporated, will corrode the optic nerve.

If its crystals you want, I would suggest learning basic organic chemistry. I don't think getting crystals is as easy as some make it sound. Maybe even try  this

go get a license to buy anhydrous alcohol 100% alcohol or go get a still and make your own. luckly my mate dave has one. can still up to 190 proof alcohol, but costs you some bucks but might save you money in the long run if you like to drink

Agreed. Alcohol will get you a gummy residue that's hard to dissolve in anything. It WILL extract the psilocybin, but won't usually get you "crystals." You have to do an acetic acid extraction and then basify it and extract with a non-polar solvent.

I think I may be able to get hold of some methanol LR (don't know what the LR stands for though)... will this do it?

I believe it was shulgin who showed that ethanol does not extract psilocybin and psilocin very effectively. Don't waste your time getting a liquor license so you can get anhydrous ethanol. Methanol is the preferred solvent, and its much more readily availble and cheaper.
