Using a closed loop BHO extractor on shrooms

Do you think it's possible to use butane as a solvent to extract psilocybin from mushies? I only ask b/c I have access to a commercial closed loop BHO extractor and a heated desiccator. I figure if both grain alcohol and butane can extract thc, it should be the same with shrooms since shrooms can be extracted using grain alcohol so by transitive property it should also be able to be extracted using butane no?
I will post up a tek on it this weekend, I am curious. I want to be able to purge this in a heated vac oven and hopefully get some sort of pure psilocybin powder.

Edit: Didn't get to finish that.
I don't think it will turn out the way you hope for but I've heard of people using everclear to make extracts so maybe? Only one way to find out, right?

"Butane acts as a non-polar solvent with the exception of when the temperature and pressure is within the supercritical range.
Methanol is an aprotic solvent with a high polarity
Ethanol is also aprotic with a strong polar affinity
Simply put butane has a greater affinity to dissolve non-polar things like oils when it's not under pressure, it makes a good substitute for non-polar solvents like hexane, toloul and naptha thus, it's not necessarily a logical choice for things that are soluble in high polarity readily solvents such as water and/or alcohols.
A note on aprotic solvents.... I imagine these can create some confusion, aprotic solvents are things like alcohols, glacial acetic acid, dmso and numerous others. Aprotic simple means they have dual polarity, dissolving both nonpolar and polar solutes." -Arsey

The actives are water soluble, so I don't think p/np extraction works. Tea is just as good, but to get it concentrated you can use 151 everclear or vodka and soak grinds in the dark for two periods of one week each, strain it and let evaporate in front of a fan. I never let it get completely dry because that opens it up to oxidation, but it's a neat novelty to trip off of 2ml doses.

there is no point in making a dry powder extract.
its a waste of time. the tools are unnecessary. the end product sucks. there are better methods for storage and consumption.
please pass this info on to all your friends.

have you had cramps with tea at all?
one of the main reasons for cramps is ingesting the fruit-bodies. they are made up of chitin - a very undigestable organic material that also makes up exoskeletons on many insects. extracting to tea has always been my method, and you can freeze it in water bottles for long term storage.

I've never tried tea, I've always blended oj with dried shrooms. It's getting to the point that even though the oj masks the taste great, the texture is incredibly nauseating. I take shrooms on average once a week so maybe that has something to do with it too. but next weekend i'm going to try tea for sure. any suggestions on a particular tea flavor that goes well?

Just pick your favorite flavor! Mine are english breakfast and black gunpowder, but I'm sure any ole black or green tea would be fine. I like to sweeten with Sweet N Low to keep the calories low, and it dissolves nicely even in cold water.

i had no idea mushie tea was so damn delicious! I literally start gagging when I smell fresh shrooms, that's how sensitive I am to them now since I take them so regularly. this tea though... can barely taste the shrooms in there! a drop of honey and i'm off to outer space for tonight... can't say enough about tea... no nausea finally!! woo!!
