Psilocybin mushroom potency study is about to begin 5
#22345076 - 10/07/15 12:18 PM (8 years, 3 months ago) |
|
|
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 Rozvojovรก 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 didnยดt 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?

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

Just put your local police station as the return address, drop it in a blue box. If there's problems it'll go somewhere safe.
Usps is constitutionally protected. So unless they have reasons to look in your mail right after you drop it off and a warrant, you'll be fine.
Usps is used to send drugs conveniently inside the states cause it's protected. Ups and Fed ex is not so they have the right to fuck with your shit.
Your customs tag should read botanical specimen. Nothing suspect about that.

The mail should be fine for all those concerned.
I have mailed specimens to the University of Veracruz (Guzman) in the past with now issues, I always included a small note in each package stating samples were for scientific purposes only. I wouldn't worry about mushrooms though, it's not like you're mailing large quantities.

No, I don't think you'll get into any trouble for mailing mushrooms for science. Never heard of anyone getting in trouble for this. Postal inspectors are used to finding pounds of cubensis. If you are paranoid put a real return address on it that is not your own.

So we can legally send psilocybin mushrooms to this guy through the mail? That sounds kinda sketchy to me

Then don't do it. I've sent lots of cannabis seeds in dvd cases before, may employ same tactic.

No shit.....? Are you kidding me? What should I do? Toss the ones with speckling? 
I donโt feel like getting sick. It would surprise me if anything was sprayed though. There were weeds growing.....no flowers around. Just a normal park with wood chips.

Assuming they are legal in your area, yes. If they are not legal in your area, I'd put a real return address on it that is not yours. But even with a real return address the chances of getting in trouble for mailing a small scientific collection of mushrooms, even if intercepted is about 0%.

Eating a bit of pesticide/herbicide won't make you sick. But just to be on the safe side, mail them to Jan instead of ingesting. : )

You truly are a gentleman and a scholar sir. I have one more thing to bother you about. I donโt want to bother sending specimens that werenโt properly dried. I purchased my food dehydrator and I have been drying things at about 125 - 140F for a few hours until cracker dry. How much will this affect potency? I have since changed my method to 95F for around 10 hours.

Hard to say - perhaps you could send some dried different ways and labeled well, and then we will finally know the answer to the question of how much drying at high temps / long times affects potency.

Hi, does anyone know the way, how we will receive the informations from the tests. I know it is a starting project, I want to give some ideas if you allow me 
I Intend to send some cube strains from different substrates, to compare potency. And of course other shrooms to test, but I really courious about the results.
Maybe an online table, with the labels, and the sender nicknames? I hope the best.

It will be published in a scientific journal. You can also email the researchers directly. I usually speak with Jan on Facebook but he also answers email.

So all in all I'm going to send a couple of mushrooms from each collection- two separate P. smithii collections, two bluing Gymnopilus collections, two separate P. stuntzii collections, two P. pelliculosa collections, one Panaeolus olivaceus collection, one P. cinctulus collection, one P. azurescens and one P. cyanescens. Also something that I thought could be P. silvatia just from shits and giggles. All are in separate bags and all are labeled. I'm kind of glad that I've held onto these things, I figured that they might be useful to someone eventually.. I just hope that they aren't intercepted by customs because I not putting my return address on the package..

How long is this study running for? I can send in some caerulipes and gym samples, but not until next summer for the caerulipes. :-( I didn't save any of the pounds of them I found. :-(

I would like to contribute Alan, but I live in Canada and they seem to be pretty anal about Psilocybe mushrooms here. I'm a little dubious about sending them myself through the mail. I have a few connections with some of the local university biology departments. I'm not sure if they would go for it at this point, but do you think it might be more kosher to send the specimens to Jan through a legitimate accredited academic institution?

Just out of curiosity I want to confirm that this study will include DNA sequencing? It would be really awesome if you analyzed some DNA sequenced Panaeolina Foenisecii and test it for traces of psilocybin and psilocin... Though that study that indicated trace amounts of hallucinogenic compounds was thought to be in error to my knowledge it has never been discredited with scientific accuracy, only presumption. It would be nice to end the debate. Though, I realize there are plenty who believe that there is no debate... I still find people who insist that Gymnopilus Junonius is not active...ever thanks to what is probably Gymnopilus Ventricosis, which indicates to me that some people still are not satisfied with the status quo assumptions of these species. It seems that way, anyway. I wonder how many non-active Gym. Juns. are actually a non-active look alike... Additionally, is this project being completed by the IMA or some other means? I'm sorry if that's been covered. I may have missed something. Thanks.

That is a good idea, you should send some in.

I am not sure what the IMA is. I don't know a whole lot about it. Jan asked me to get some samples. It's not his project really, it is another researcher in the area that is doing the work. I trust him that it is a legit project though.

Cool stuff. Thanks Mr. Rockefeller. The IMA is the Illinois Mycological Association. There's a video on youtube that they posted with you (I think, or someone of the same name?) speaking about fungi of Mexico. I just guessed they might have something to do with, or more accurately hoped cuz I'm an Illinois person. I actually have no idea who Jan is... I'm a noob. lol. I'll read this post and I think the details of that were posted. Thanks :-)

I just spoke with Jan and he said they would be running samples until December.
If you have any collections that you would like to get tested, the time to send them is now.
It would be interesting to see more Pluteus, Gymnopilus, Pholiotina and uncommon Psilocybe species.
The address to send them to is:
Jan Borovicka, Institute of Geology CAS Rozvojova 269 CZ-165 00 Prague 6 Czech Republic
Make sure they are well labeled so the photos and other collection data that go with the samples can be recorded.

I'm sure he has a Million P.Semilanceata samples by now? Wish I had seen this post originally but I have Sterile Libs I've always wondered about potency comparison with... as well as Eastern Nova Scotia Libs divided by site foraged ranging from 2011-2016 (soon 20017 ) are you aware if they would be of any interest? if not what's the best means of contact for him... email I assume?

Alan: Thank's for the update, I have been wondering for the past year what happened.
Liberty King: I have sent him P. semilanceata, and I guess others have as well. I think science have enough data on potency regarding this species. It would be more interesting if we could get more of the exotic finds analyzed. I know that this study will give us results of several species previously untested which is exciting, but there could still be some more out there. To everyone reading this, don't hesitate if you got something rare!

Wish i'd known about this.
i would have tried to get specimens of Psilocybe subaeruginosa from a few locations in far south Tasmania to add to the mix.
or even Tasmanian Psilocybe semilanceata
next time.

It'd be interesting to know by how much the 'psychoactives' deteriorate with aging in the field. Is a knarled old flyblown and weatherworn lib as potent as a photo-perfect young specimen from the same troop.
Many of the lib examples in the UK threads I wouldn't pick, same as I would leave behind mushrooms in a supermarket that have obvious signs of deteriation.

If you have any collections that you would like to get tested, the time to send them is now.
It would be interesting to see more Pluteus, Gymnopilus, Pholiotina and uncommon Psilocybe species.
The address to send them to is:
Jan Borovicka, Institute of Geology CAS Rozvojova 269 CZ-165 00 Prague 6 Czech Republic
Make sure they are well labeled so the photos and other collection data that go with the samples can be recorded.
Would he be interested in California Stuntzii and these?
The second ones location was recently woodchipped again which is good in the long run, poor for photogenic opportunity this year.

I do not know. If I was them I would try testing the same sample at the beginning of the study and after a couple years sitting at room temp to get an idea how the numbers change over time.
Seems to be a serious constraint on the analysis, unknown preparation and handling would immediately devalue the result IMO unless there were extremely clear findings. Any variation in results could be attributed to the fruit or the preparation e.g. unknown drying time and temperature.
I would be interested to learn what effect the drying temperature has on the active chemicals, if any. Personal experience is that the 40C max recommendation has no credibility. I have accidentally dried them at 60C after a device malfunctioned. Curious, I sampled them in a measured (weighed) dose and there was no noticeable reduction in the potency. But then that is an unscientific report from an occasional drug user, WTF would they know.
Marry that with the fact that boiling (100C) has no noticeable effect either and I started to believe that this 40C drying temp is just another urban legend, passed down through the decades.

So I found the zip with the supplementary data and could confirm that my samples was included.

My Pholiotina is described in the quote below. Unfortunatly as P. cyanopus. DNA is pointing more to P. smithii. https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/14895064/
Quote:
A very interesting and rare species in our dataset is Pholiotina cyanopus, for which we analyzed three fruiting bodies from a single fungarium collection. P. cyanopus contained 0.821โ1.360 mg/g BA, 0.247โ0.565 mg/g NB, less than or equal to 0.062 mg/g PS, and less than or equal to 0.859 mg/g PSB. Our results were very similar to the previous study by Halama et al. [13], who also reported a trace concentration of AE.

Yes that's it!
Also a new study is being done. Samples of species not represented here are needed. The authors are discussing the best way to receive samples - perhaps they will be sent directly to the forensic laboratory. I should have an address for people to send samples in the next few days.

I'm going to be honest, this study does not have a large enough sample group for most of the species sampled to be considered valid in any way. It's great in concept but most of the results cannot be taken in good faith.

โOur results for all tryptamines in P. subaeruginosa were very low (the highest of 0.33 mg/g PS) and did not correspond much to those found in other species of the P. cyanescens complex. We speculate that this species may produce much higher tryptamine concentrations and additional analyses are therefore desired.โ This surprised me, but I wonder too, if there is just so much diversity within that species.

It would be curious to see what sample size is necessary to give an adequate overall overview of the particular species. Like subs have so many different phenotypes, and I wonder if thereโs potency differences between phenos, or if thereโs potency differences based on soil type, topography, location, substrate, etc. I wonder if thereโs variation within cyanescens for different states on the west coast, or places in Europe, etc? Hmmm ๐ค

Yes P.subaeruginosa potency varies greatly in NSW. Pine forest subs are weakest. Mountain subs in eucalypt forests are more potent. Coastal subs from the lowlands fruit later and are nearly always more psychedelic than mountain subs.
I was picking mutant Psilocybe cyanescens in Sydney 1981-88. No sub I have ever picked came close for potency. Been picking P.cyanescens last two seasons in parkland. Same goes for them. There's just no comparison. To me they are like the LSD trip of the mushroom world. Once tried never the same.
Sure I'm bio assaying them. I have a fair bit of experience with Australian species. P.papuana is right up there in potency. However dried it's not the same. Quite boring and lacking the distinctive visuals of fresh specimens.
I was very pleased to read this paper. Hope it leads to bigger and better things.

The fimetaria was not bluing according to the authors.
Quote:
Although one of the P. fimetaria collections was analyzed only a few months after sampling (PS-65), we were unable to detect any of the analyzed tryptamines. This collection (PRM 951396) was found in the Czech Republic and was primarily determined according to the morphological characters. The phylogenetic analysis shows its affinity to P. pelliculosa (Figure 3), a psychotropic species known from the USA [29]. One of the ITS rDNA sequences Int. J. Mol. Sci. 2022, 23, 14068 8 of 16 of P. pelliculosa was even 100% similar to that of P. fimetaria, but their EF1-a gene sequences are apparently distinct (the sequences HF912341 and LR760712 show a match of only 94%). This would suggest that the ITS rDNA molecular marker is not always a reliable character for species delimitation in Psilocybe (which is also indicated in the Psilocybe cyanescens complex). According to the literature [70,71], Psilocybe fimetaria turns blue when bruised, however, the bluing reaction was not observed in the Czech collection. Because no other sequences of P. fimetaria are available in public databases, we were unable to discuss the taxonomic identity of our collection. The absence of tryptamine alkaloids in our samples could be explained, for example, by (i) low initial concentration and following degradation before analysis, and (ii) an existence of two Psilocybe species corresponding to the morphological concept of P. fimetaria, one psychotropic and one non-psychotropic, as not only the bluing reaction but also PSB was reported in P. fimetaria [33]. Therefore, a thorough analysis and multi-gene sequencing of additional collections of P. fimetaria are needed.
And RenegadeMycologist pointed out in this thread https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/27603287#27603287 that this specific collection did not fit in well with the other fimetara gene sequences.
Quote:
MN901955 submitted by Jan Boroviฤka I don't know what it is, might be mislabeled liniformans.
But is perhaps something else since it's not active.
However it seems like a lot of the samples are very low on the psychoactive tryptamines. I. aeruginascens was 10-100 times lower than other studies, P. subaeruginosa and P. caerulescens also very low. All of mine as well. I dried my mushrooms and stored them in the freezer just until sending them to Prague, and they were kept dark in 20C until being analyzed. I never noticed a low potency. The cinctulus for example I find is almost as potent as P. cubensis. I don't know if there is some kind of analytic errors, the methods described seems good...

It is actually beyond me that this is called an "extensive collection". 4 specimens of P. fimetaria, 18 specimens of P. semilanceata etc.
Several species included in the study are likely fruiting in the vast millions world wide each year. All honours to the people doing the study, but my impression is that it falls short with regards to the amount of samples.

Yes. I was hoping for a lot more people to contribute. This forum have all the enthusiasts from all over the world who are able to collect a lot of different species, including the more rare ones. Where else but on the Shroomery would a majority of all active species be collected by various people during a year + a few really interesting species a year that might not have a name yet, or haven't been been tested in quantitative studies before?
On the other hand, it also needs the people who conduct the study to be just as good to reach out for samples, updating about progress etc. Keeping the interest alive. The samples was analyzed during 2016-2019. From 2017 this thread was dead and even when it was created it quickly disappeared among all the thousands of "found this mushroom, is it magic?" threads...
It could have been done better.
But after 7 years of waiting I'm still happy to see the result.

I guess it comes down to time and resources. Mycological studies are rarely funded unless there is some larger program organised or eventually commercial or monetary interests. Exploration of psychedelic fungi is not (yet) a priority, so it boils down to volunteer work, and little to no economical repair for those who put in the effort and long hours. Maybe a funding campaign could work.

It quite possibly could, I've seen some absolutely ridiculous funding campaigns bring in some absurd amounts of money.

Only two collections were sampled, not enough to conclude that the species is inactive. More research is needed (and is going on)
It is actually beyond me that this is called an "extensive collection". 4 specimens of P. fimetaria, 18 specimens of P. semilanceata etc.
Several species included in the study are likely fruiting in the vast millions world wide each year. All honours to the people doing the study, but my impression is that it falls short with regards to the amount of samples.
I agree...in my eyes, two samples of P. fimetaria surely aren't enough to justify including the species in the study insofar as a meaningful conclusion can be drawn from any data extrapolated from them.
However, I understand that Jan may have had more samples of the species sent to him since concluding the physical analysis for the study.
Not to worry...research of P. fimetaria exclusively (and peripherally P. liniformans) is ongoing, independent of the authors of said paper.
