PF Cake Cranberry Juice-Citric Acid Mycelium Extraction Tek * 1
    #26641625 - 05/01/20 03:54 PM (3 years, 8 months ago)

Wanna a unique trip? Want to feel a trip different than your typical shroom trip? Want to experience something different? Try this tek. :takingnotes:


The Official PF Tek Cake Cranberry Juice-Citric Acid Extraction Tek :rainbowdrink:

Step 1:
Colonize one half-pint wide mouth PF jar with any cubenis strain. When its at 100% and starts to pre-pin (primordia growth), go to Step 2.

Step 2: Birth the PF cake, rinse cake with filtered water. Remove all dried, uncolonized vermiculite.

Step 3: Break apart cake into a clean blender.

Step 4: Add Tang® Powder to cover the cake completely, a couple scoops works well. Tang contains both citric and absorbic acid which both help to extract the active alkaloids from the mycelium similar to the Lemon Tek. Pure Citric and/or Absorbic Acid can be substituted for Tang powder if readily available.

Step 5: Pour Pure 100% Cranberry Juice over cake pieces, about 16 fl oz.

Step 6: Blend well using the blender on high-speed. Gently shake the blender to mix the pieces inside. Blend thoroughly. Let the mix sit for about an hour, blending occasionally during the soak-extraction time.

Step 7: Strain slurry over a clean white cotton t-shirt into a large cooking pot or large mixing bowl. Squeeze all the juice out the cotton shirt, leaving only the blended PF cake mix inside the t-shirt.

Step 8: Use a funnel to guide the milky-white Cranberry-Tang juice into a tall drinking glass (ice cubes recommended) from the cooking sauce pot/large bowl. Careful not to spill the mycelium juice extract!

Step 9: Drink the Milky-Mycelium Juice.

Step 10: Enjoy the Unique Trip :awesome:



:rainbowdrink: Cheers! :leocheers:



This Tek was modified based on an existing Erowid.org article.

Edit: Added importance of citric acid to the title

I'm curious about this. I don't have any jar ready to fruit and don't pretend to have till a couple months, but I'll definitely try it eventually. What about the potency?

Great idea Chaos!  Current research suggests there are harmala alkaloids in cubensis mycelium, right?

Here we go. The artilce is here. But this is the paragraph I am referring to,

Quote:

Mr. Moss added the following regarding the compounds they are finding and studying, “While the small set of data that we shared via Twitter displays psilocybin and psilocin, we have isolated and tested for multiple compounds of interest in the mushroom including the tryptamine alkaloids: baeocystin, norbaeocystin, norpsilocin, aeruginascin, 4-HO-TMT, 4-hydroxytryptamine. The beta-carbolines: harmine, harmane, norharmane, harmol.”




This article is even better. I posted the whole article so you don't need to click on the link.

Quote:

Get to Know the Beta Carbolines – Newcomers to the Science of Magic Mushrooms

In 2019, Dr. Felix Blei and his research team announced that they had isolated new compounds from four species of magic mushrooms, including Psilocybe cubensis.1 Of course, the better-known compounds like psilocybin, psilocin, and baeocystin were present in the mushrooms, but also were some compounds called beta carbolines (ß-carbolines). This groundbreaking discovery has changed the magic mushroom paradigm for psychedelic researchers.

ß-Carboline Basics

ß-carbolines are naturally occurring alkaloids.2 They are most commonly known as components in the psychotropic beverage ayahuasca. Examples of the ß-carbolines in ayahuasca include harmine, harmane, and harmaline (note: ß-carboline is also another name for the compound norharmane).

Much of the effect of ayahuasca is due to the ability of ß-carbolines to inhibit MAO (monoamine oxidase) enzymes.2,3 This inhibition makes it possible for the psychedelic compound DMT (dimethyltryptamine, another compound in ayahuasca) to move out of the digestive system and enter the circulation.

The ß-Carbolines in Magic Mushrooms

Blei et al. analyzed extracts from P. cubensis, P. mexicana, P. cyanescens, and P. semilanceata. In the extracts, they identified the ß-carbolines cordysinin C, cordysinin D, harmane, harmol, norharmane, and perlolyrine. These compounds were previously isolated from fungi and plants in genera such as Cordyceps, Peganum, and Banisteriopsis,4 but this was a eureka moment in Psilocybe research history.

The Importance of Discovering ß-Carbolines in Magic Mushrooms

When it comes to understanding the effects and potential therapeutic applications of magic mushroom compounds, it’s not just about tryptamines anymore. Now scientists have a new path for further discovery. Consider some of what is already known about ß-carbolines. It deepens the complexity of the already challenging magic mushroom chemical landscape.

ß-carbolines are known to play a role in the development of essential tremor (uncontrolled shaking) and have been implicated in Parkinson’s disease.5 In contrast, a systematic review of the literature conducted by Ferraz et al. in 2019, indicated that ß-carbolines (harmane and harmine, in particular) might have antidepressant effects.6 The authors summarized their findings by saying,

Quote:

In general, β-carbolines modulate 5-HT and GABA systems, promote neurogenesis, induce neuroendocrine response and restore astrocytic function, being effective when administrated acutely or chronically in different animal models, including chronic mild stress protocols.




Some of these effects of ß-carbolines come from their ability to inhibit the uptake of serotonin, dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine via competitive inhibition of the receptors7,8

In 2018, a review article by Dai et al. focused on the occurrence, structural diversity, and biological activity of ß-carboline monomers and dimers.9 Their review found that some ß-carboline monomers have many effects, including antitumor, antiparasitic, and antiviral, as well as antioxidant, antidiabetic, and aphrodisiac activity. Interestingly, some ß-carboline dimers have a significantly higher level of bioactivity than their monomeric counterparts.

Further Research on ß-Carbolines From Magic Mushrooms

It’s unknown how ß-carbolines function in magic mushrooms and the ways they may contribute to the overall psychedelic effect. The discovery of these compounds in magic mushrooms will alter the path of psychedelic drug research, perhaps leading to the discovery of even more beneficial effects.

Didn't catch this thread the first time you posted it, Logical.  This is really cool, thanks for sharing :mushroom2:

I have not but I would guess the experience would feel different. And the taste would be quite something, probably not pleasant :eek:

Cause its been aging inside a FC for weeks from the first flush. It wouldnt taste "fresh" like a PF cake just birthed from a jar. I recommend getting the fresh taste of mycelium from a new cake. But this whole process is experimental, so feel free to try it out :shrug:
