Basic principles of extraction

Hey guys, old user, new username. It has been quite some time since i've returned to the hobby. So what would be the most cost effective way of extracting psilocybin and tryptamines etc? Came across this in a medical forensic article. Also anyone have any experience extracting similar psychoactives?
1. Dry mushrooms at low temperature (45°C) in an oven overnight. 2. Grind the dried mushrooms into a fine powder using an agate mortar. 3. Place ~1 g of the powder into a test tube. 4. Add 1 ml of methanol and vortex the mixture for 1 min. 5. Allow mixture to stand undisturbed until larger particles settle. 6. Remove solution and transfer into a micro-test tube. The solution will appear slightly cloudy because of tiny, undissolved particulate. 7. Centrifuge solution for 1 min. The particulate will pack at the bottom of the micro-test tube, producing a clear, light- yellow solution on top. 8. Carefully transfer the clear, light-yellow solution into a separate micro-test tube without disturbing the pellet. 9. Perform confirmatory examination on solution using TLC or GCMS, or both. The recovered volume of the extract is only about 0.2 ml, so use it sparingly.

That'll work for analysis. A 0.2 ml recovery from centrifuging a ml sounds like someone fucked something up though.
If you wanna do large scale extraction for use, then I would just scale up to like 10g+ dry, grind, soak in methanol for a day or three, then filter and dry methanol carefully. Or use ethanol, and leave it as a magic tincture. Don't drink methanol, you'll go blind, then coma, then die.
