Psilocybin extraction with everclear 1

I just want to make sure I do this correctly and see if you guys have any insight and advice.
1. Grind 30 grams of dried cyanescens 2. Add to 300ml of 190 proof grain alcohol 3. Soak for 24-48 hours, shaking periodically 4. Strain out mushrooms 5. Let the alcohol evap down to 30ml 6. Bottle in a glass dropper bottle and store in fridge or freezer 7. Consume
If my math is right, it will end up being 1g/1ml. Has anybody done this and is the outcome good?

Psilocybin is more soluble in water than ethanol. But your procedure is sound. just keep it away from light if you can.
RR always spoke highly of everclear extract.

Never tried it, but should work fine.
I would use vodka for added solubility in water.

the problem with using water is, i want to make it concentrated. alcohol will evap down to a small amount with minimal effort, and doesnt freeze. this way i can store in the freezer. water may not keep for as long. I also messed up with the drying process somehow this time, so any rotting, or mold (doubt there's mold) but any bacteria will be killed off from the high alcohol content

Nothing wrong with storing tea in the freezer though

I've done that the outcome sucked ass.
Get a Soxhlet extractor and it'll work 10,000x better.

Google it or YouTube it. It's a little hard to paint you a word picture that will do it justice.

Damn, that is awesome. I'm assuming it's more expensive than what I could afford, but here would one get the methylene chloride? Is that the solvent you would use for anything, or would you use water with shrooms since its water soluble. Would you pull out a tincture with this apparatus, or a pure powdered psilocybin?

I would use ethanol, everclear. And it will make a crazy strong tincture which I guess you could evap to powder.

Well I'm using everclear right now, 190 proof. So what's the difference between me soaking And evaping a couple of pulls and the soxhlet? The soxhlet is automatic, and I'm doing it manually, but im essentially doing the same thing right?

Ok, so here's what I did. I took 31.5 grams of cyanescens, added 315 ml of 190 proof grain alcohol, soaked for 48 hours, and am evaping to to 31.5 ml (1g/1ml) the outcome so far is a dirty brownish color. I then took those same mushrooms and added just enough water to cover the mushrooms (I did this because a number of people told me that shrooms are more soluble in water. I soaked for 24 hours, and the shroom water is a very dark blue as of right now. It smells like there could still be a tad bit of alcohol so I'm waiting to see if any liquid evaporates. Judging from these 2 mixtures, what do you all think would be the best bet. Add 1/4 of the alcohol mix to every 3/4 water? That way no extra goodies were left behind or in one bottle instead of the other?

I would certainly think you would want to press/squeeze out ALL the liquid from that left over material. As in putting the material in like a nut milk bag and using some type of device to press it!

If one wanted to put a few drops of this liquid shrooms in my e-juice and vape it on my e-cig, would it be an experience similar to dmt or would the psilocybin just burn off?

thats a question for another thread. 95% percent will say there's no way it would work, I say those people need to experiment more. experiment and find out
Smoking MAOI's enhances psilocybin trips, so if it does work you could use that to enhance it.

Dear friends Always use heat when extracting shrooms as heat will denature the enzymes which degrade the actives. I have done cold extracts and the shelf time sucks but hot extracts are know to preserve longer and I assume the performance of extraction will be better too.
