Does heat destroy psilocybin?

So I've been using the search engine on here and I'm getting a lot of contradictions. Posts that are.. say 7-14 years old pretty much most of them state clearly that heat destroys psilocybin and lots of them say not to use dehydrators.. but then there are tons of posts that state heat is fine as long as it's kept under 300 or 180.. I don't know what to believe. Will someone set this straight?? I can gladly post some examples or you can search for your self.

If your question is whether to use a dehydrator or not.
Yeah you are good to use one. Nothing to worry about.

Dehydrators are ok

Psilocybin melting point is like 428- 450 degrees or some shit, so I wonder if it degrades before that degree

If you're really nervous, you can always fan dry, then use damprid to get cracker dry for storage.
But yeah, you'll be fine with a dehydrator.

I boiled mushroom tea once and it did nothing. I used the same harvest of mushrooms to make a better tea (Slowly heating it up over 20 minutes but never boiling) and it send me to the fucking moon.
And that is why I don't heat them anymore.

Here you go.
Notice the temps listed 220C - 228C, That's 428F - 442F and it's the melting temp only. If you take a solid and raise it's temp to its melting point, it becomes liquid. Return that same liquid to it's solid temp and... you get the same original solid (it is not destroyed) So... Psilocybin IS NOT DESTROYED at temps as high as 442F
Notice the temp for Psilocin, and that it is only measured in Methanol. That is because in water... the oxygen molocules of the water would oxidize it and desrtoy it. (Not the heat) So... when you dry your shrooms, The active ingredients of Psilocybin and Psilocin are exposed to oxygen destroying the Psilocin but not the Psilocybin, no matter what the temp is.
Keep in mind that this only refers to the chemical form... not live mycellium.
