To distill off the actives you would have to heat to 400+ The whole purpose of distillation is leave everything but water behind not have it go into vapor

Ya, fractal distillation is for very stable molecules.
V/V sep with the right pH then neutralize with a base, freezing (fats etc) and vac filtration gets u close enough.
Acid seems to aid in the dephosphorylation of psilocybin to psilocin due to the enzyme being extracted to the solution as well.
Since you are dealing with only one compound now, polar solvents work quite well. V/V with a non-polar like ether will extract impurities.
Methanol seems like the solvent of choice in all the old published papers

I didn't know it was so easy to make concentrated tea, I wonder to what extreme this works. Boil a quarter down to one shot of liquid?

Alright mate, that's sort of what i'm intrested in. I'd love to be able to make it in to tea but then slowly reduce until it's a tiny amount, enough for a few drops to be a good couple gram dose.
Or just a total ISO goo extraction then disolve that back in to ethanol, whalla, Psylo-drops? Yes?

A few drops will never be a couple gram dose, you can forget about that. If you do reduce it that far, it will be opaque nasty looking globs, not drops.

If you are looking for a good extraction method, it's pretty much what snazz described. You need to have chemistry know-how and to know how to use the equipment that is needed. Still, you will never get to the point where you will be dosing by drops, it's just not possible with the current methods.
The method Snazz mentioned uses both polar and non-polar solvents which is the equivalent of making both a water extraction (tea) and a chemical one (like alcohol extractions). There are two type of actives that we know of in shrooms which are psilocybin and psilocin. One is soluble in water and the other in alcohol so you can't get all the actives with just one type of extraction.
The only reason why water extraction works better is because the body can digest psilocin directly whereas psilocybin has to be broken down into psilocin for the body to digest it. Alcohol extractions on their own suck balls.

That's why I use 1/3rd sake in my tea extraction
Most assays I have seen in published journals show psilocybin content is way higher than the psilocin but it definitely is strain-dependant.
The former only needs a phosphate chopped off before it's bioactive.
You actually don't want to 'digest' it though. Rue inhibits that enzyme and really potentiates the trip.
30g fresh APE + harmala extract sublingual was a sweet ride last night.

AFAIK cubes have equal amounts of both actives, on average of course. I think it's the "breakdown" from psilocybin to psilocin is what makes an alcohol extraction not as good as a water one. I imagine some is lost in the process.

Psilocybin and psilocin are both quite water soluble

It seems like I mixed them up. It seems like psilocin is the one that's extracted by alcohol.
Here's a quote from Fastfred:
Quote:
fastfred said: Here are some snips I had laying around...
Psilocybin: Sol in 20 parts boiling water, 120 parts boiling methanol; difficultly sol. in ethanol. Practically insol in chloroform, benzene.
Psilocin: Unstable in soln, esp. akaline soln. Very slightly sol in water. Soluable in ether. Recrystalize from chloroform/heptane (1:3) yielding white crystals. With aqueous ethanol, the optimum extraction was with a 70% ethanol concentration, and the extraction efficiency dropped almost to zero when there was no water present. But methanol was extremely inefficient regardless of the amount of water present in it.
Psilocin forms white crystals from methanol and is quite insoluble in water, but dissolves in most organic solvents.
-FF
Yeah, both are soluble to some extent in water but it seems that chemicals are far better at extracting psilocin than water alone. Hence why the extraction Snazz mentioned would be the most efficient as well as the best candidate for reducing the volume of the final solution like OP wanted. Goodluck doing it without any chemical and chemistry know-how though. I barely recognized half of the shit I needed when I read a tek like that, let alone actually managing to get said shit.
It would be nice if someone figured out some magical way to get a very potent solution where drops of liquid are the equivalent of grams, wouldn't it? Nausea would be non-existing with something like that except for the little bit you get while being high.
So is it also the other way around in terms of digestability? Does psilocin turn into psilocybin? Or did I get that part right? Haven't read that stuff in a while, excuse my amnesia.

Appears its 6 times more soluble in water... Merck index 2001.
Then if you use lemon slightly acidic solution psilocin is very soluble as if acts like a salt.

In vivo, psilocybine is rapidly dephosphorylated into the active compound psilocin
It seems like I got that part right. I wonder why alcohol extraction on it's own isn't that potent.
That is the sheet for psilocybin, and that is part of FF's quote. I was talking about psilocin which is "Very slightly sol in water" according to FF's findings.
I gave up on extractions personally. I haven't got enough know-how to pull anything worth the effort from them. Not to mention the equipment you need which I cannot even spell, let alone set up and use.
Anyway, according to Wiki, cubes have ~equal amounts of both actives. So since one is easily soluble in water and the other isn't, I would have thought that both teks would yield the same potency solution. I dunno, maybe I did it all wrong. RR seems to have had great results with alcohol extraction on it's own. Said he stored some in a freezer and tried it years later with good results. I did use ~86% alcohol though, which could be why.

The acid and extracted enzymes from the fruit will convert to 100% psilocin.
Tea is 250-400ml liquid to dissolve under a gram of psilocin, so solubility isn't really going to be an issue.
I like alcohol to help carry it quickly to the bloodstream
:p
My last brew started to hit in 8 min

Yeah, every extract hits pretty quickly. My alcohol one was just as fast as any tea I made, it was just lacking in how far it can go.

I really really enjoyed trying the mushroom jello. Made tea seem like choking back bear piss, hit about the same, if not faster.
