Psilocybin mushroom potency study is about to begin 5

For the first time in many years, a researcher with a license to possess psilocybin mushrooms is going to be doing a potency study. Samples are needed!
They should be dried at low temperature (under 40 degrees C) and be somewhat recent, within the last year.
Everything is needed - cubensis, mexicana, zapotecorum, pelliculosa, medullosa, subaeruginosa, azurescens, Gymnopilus, Pluteus, Pholiotina - what ever you can find, please send.
Small amounts are needed, but larger collections are better because he can test several caps from different mushrooms and see how the potency varies.
I am quite sure he is not going to eat your collections. He stayed at my house last year and he doesn't use drugs. Very cool guy & excellent scientist.
Please send collections to:
Jan Borovicka Institute of Geology, v.v.i. Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic Rozvojová 269, CZ-16500 Prague 6, Czech Republic
Please label them well so he knows what he is receiving. It's likely he will do microscopy & DNA analysis on them as well, so this is a really good opportunity.

I have some dried P. pelliculosa from December or January, is that too old? I also have have some P. smithii and other active Gymnopilus- is he just testing Psilocybes for right now?
I'm excited to see the results!

I have some old 2014 Cyans too.
I think that over the course of a year, there could be various levels of degration. So it might skew the results when compared to more recently-picked mushrooms

I do not think it is too old. Any mushroom you suspect of being active is a good one to send.

Write down the date of collection and let the scientists figure it out. Older collections can give valuable info about how the alkaloids degrade, so if you have something 5 or 10 years old, send that too.

You might want to sticky this post on the top of MH&I. Do you think we will get into any trouble sending these samples internationally, I don't have a license to possess psilocybin mushrooms.

i didn´t know Jan Borovicka is still active in this field 
He was the first one who disvovered Psilocybe arcana - my most beloved woodloving species. i am still craving for this one, so if someone has a culture or print, PM me 
i hope i can help soon with cultivated species (not cubensis)...

Hi Alan,
Other than Genus, Species, Date and Country collected from is there any other info he'd like on the label? Looking forward to the results; do you know where he is publishing?

Very exciting. Jan could end up with mountains of mushrooms! I'll see what I can find.

Just in time for the fall ovoid season. Would love to see proof that the fall ones are more potent than the spring ones.
