Psilly Extraction w/ Isop

Good morning everyone!
Before I begin, I'd first like to say how excited I am to be part of this community. My name is Thomas and my location is Vancouver, Canada, and it is a pleasure to meet all of you! 
I've had many experiences with mushrooms, which is what first prompted me to become interested in psychedelics. I recently came across info regarding Fanaticus and his work, and also the 200 proof ethanol extraction of psilocybin he talks about. I thought this was incredible, as did most people when they first discovered this awesome tek. I know many people have done this, and Fanaticus explains it very clearly with 200 proof ethanol. I know people have used 100% isopropanol and methanol as well, with the main difference being the complete evaporation of the alcohol.
This is where it gets tricky. I've been reading all over the internet, different forums, Erowid, you name it, and there has just been too many conflicting information about using the alternative alcohols. I've seen people write that isopropanol evaporation is faster? Hot-water-bathing for evaporation? It all just makes me confused. I guess my main question is:
-How exactly are the procedures different in extracting psilocybin when using the alternate alcohols?
Isopropanol rubbing alcohol is so much more readily available than any of the other alcohols, and I don't want to start doing anything until I have everything clear in my mind about the procedures, as I want to make this experience as rewarding as possible!
Thank you everybody in advance, I hope I didn't forget to mention any important info..

You would NEVER want to ingest iso.

I would only extract with something that I would want to put in my body. Grain alcohol. Water. Iso and methanol are not good for the body, or mind. I am not a chemist so I do not know what is left after you evaporate methanol. Doesn't sound good to me

Of course if it was available to me my first choice would be to go with grain ethanol, but alas that isn't available here in BC and I would have to go lengths to obtain it.
Also, I know of many people safely using isopropanol and methanol for extraction with complete evaporation, and I'm taking the necessary precautions to keep myself safe of course. There's also been many studies that show that methanol offers faster and fuller extraction of psilocybin.
