How do you make psilocybin tinctures?

Hi all
Been reading about how to make psilocybin tinctures and wondering if there is a preferred method? From what I have been reading you dry the mushrooms, grind into a fine powder, cover with alcohol and leave for two weeks shaking every day, filter and then it’s done. However I have found people saying that is not ideal as it often turns blue which is the oxydation of the psilocybin and is better if it stays yellow. They do not explain how they do it but use lemon juice.
So I’m wondering what is the best way to do it and is there a good resource to follow for a first timer?
Thanks in advance

My favorite method is to make mushroom tea, filter, then boil the tea down to a small amount and add an equal volume of everclear. I make it so one shot is about 3 grams. Hits hard and has a very long shelf life

Lemon juice doesn't actually convert the psilocybin into psilocin, nor does it enhance solubility much. I haven't noticed a difference.
Grind to a powder, infuse with 10mL of 151 proof vodka per 1g of mushies. Either let it soak for days in a jar, or heat and stir it in a double boiler. Use a coffee filter to strain it into a pyrex, put it back into the double boiler and evap off some ethanol. Once you have it below 2-3 mL per 1g of mushies, you can put it into a boston round bottle or eyedropper.
I usually process 2oz of mushies down into a 1 fl oz eyedropper, so each drop (~0.05mL) contains about 0.1g of dried mushy. People are so naive too, they will just start calling you the acid vial guy

Thank you so much for sharing really appreciate it!
After creating it do you store it in the fridge? How long does it last?

I just keep it in the basement, in amber or cobalt glass. Stays good at least months. I bet it would keep for years in the freezer, but I'm not that concerned with potency loss.

The whole Lemon Tek thing is bunk then?

No, it's not bunk. It's just the same as a tea. The lemon helps extracting the actives faster, as psilocybin is more soluble in acidic environments than plain water. But that's it. There is no conversion of psilocybin to psilocin possible with just lemon juice. Our liver does this job.

Lemon tek makes a more efficient solution for the body to absorb. It isnt "bunk".

Instead of letting it sit for days with the occasional shake. Couldn't you achieve the same if not greater effect through more aggressive agitation? Like with a blender for example.

Psilocybin, psilocin, baeocystin, norbaeocystin, and aeruginascin are tryptamines from which Psilocybin, psilocin are unstable.
mehtanoal extraction works but give very poor results.
95% pure ethanol+ distilled water extraction
note Psilocybin absorbs more in water than ethanol and psilocin absorbs more in ethanol than water
process bottle with air tight cap, coffee grinder or blender, ethanol 90% to 95% , distilled water, coffee filter
take desire amount of mushrooms use coffee grinder to make powder for every gram add 10 ml of 70% ethanol and 30% of distilled water(7ml of ethanol + 3ml of water) add powder mushroom to bottle and water and ethanol solution shake it for 8 minutes leave it in dark place 24 hours is optimal time for extraction pour the solution on coffee filter the resulting solution will be light white color
for alkaloid extraction leave solution in beaker or take off the cap of bottle Psilocybin will degrade due to oxygen and light while psilocin will evaporate with ethanol
15g of mushroom powder with 150ml of ethanol 70% + distilled water
alkaloid of B+ mushroom light green color contains no Psilocybin, psilocin since solution was left in light and air.


Note use distilled water for optimal extraction, tap water filter water contains a lot of things and resulting solution does not contain significant amount of Psilocybin

Hi, to my great disappointment I have found that my tincture have 0 potency. I had 18 grams Psilocybe semilanceata in 140 ml 60% vodka for 6 months. This Evening I wanted to meditate on equal to 1-1,3 g dried. Its been stored in å glass jar, for strawberry jam, but without the rubber sealing between lid and glass which can be used.. this is regular store glass jar. I assume not airtight, therefore alchol has evaporated, then mushrooms lost potency? This surprised me, my first Tincture, all ruined. (Stored it dark, but not fridge.

Mushroom alkaloids will oxidise if exposed to air.
I would expect any tincture to lose its potency fairly rapidly despite what was said in this thread.
Store shrooms dry and whole in an air free, dry, cool, dark place.

I think sometimes we try too hard to reinvent the proverbial psychedelic wheel.
There are 2 ways to consume that have been tried and true for years, eat them whole or in tea. These methods work and they work well. Potency is lost very quickly when trying to extract just the indoles, so not really worth it in my opinion to make tinctures or high potency extracts.
