Psilomethoxin is Real * 4
    #27758637 - 05/01/22 11:53 AM (1 year, 8 months ago)

friend put 5-meo-dmt salt in to water for substrate of second flush. I took mushrooms for 5 days straight sharing with 3 other people doing same during same time. no psilocybin effect. basically oral 5-meo-dmt with longer than psilocbyin half life. Since then have taken over 50 times and shared with hundreds of people.

You mean he put it in the water used for rehydration? Why not hydrate the grains and bulk with it instead?

Isn't 5-meo-dmt orally active?

I've been wondering if it's possible to make 4-HO-mitragagynine by adding kratom to substrate.

This is what I'm trying to understand here, the mushrooms actively absorbed the 5-meo-dmt and replaced the psilocybin?

Sorry but the posted excerpts don't really give sufficient info, well for my understanding.

What is being gained here other than the altered content of the mushroom?
Are you looking to use the Baeocystin as an maoi?

5-meo-dmt is orally active. If you add it to mushrooms, I expect you'd just end up with mushrooms containing 5-meo-dmt.

There's no scientific paper that has been published which proves that mushrooms will convert it to psilomethoxin. You can't tell whether or not this has taken place simply by eating the resulting mushrooms. You'd have to have a reference sample of pure psilomethoxin, and then compare the resulting chemicals extracted from the mushrooms with the reference sample using stuff like mass spectrometry and so on. Then you'd have to publish your results in a peer reviewed journal. To my knowledge, that hasn't been done.

The article on wiki (obviously not the best source) says:

Quote:

However, Alexander Shulgin has explained that it could be possible to cultivate 4-HO-5-MeO-DMT in psilocybin mushrooms by adding 5-MeO-DMT to the growing substrate of the fungus. This method was finally tested and proven with 5-MeO-DMT by members of the Church of Psilomethoxin in 2021, and had previously been used successfully for changing DET into 4-HO-DET and 4-PO-DET, both of which had never before been found in nature.




It links to this article: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2614674/

I can't find how the Church "Proved" it though.

I will accept that as 97% fact until the person identifies themselves and the lab and it will be 99.999% because they could have just swapped the sample. A lot of people seem to want this “church” to be wrong so there is some incentive for making a false investigation but I agree with most of the falseflags. The only one I hadn’t heard was same dosage range, I had heard the dosage was under a gram but I could be wrong.

I can’t find it right now but there was a long ass thread about the church. I went down the rabbit hole reading about them. I’m not saying it’s not real but I think the church charges something like $300 an ounce for it? I need to find that thread.

Ouchie guess it wasn't real after all, but it was fun while it lasted:

Their response to this testing is hilarious!  Like they are living in an alternate reality where they can wish things into existence through the power of thought alone.  I'm sure the judge will buy that :wink:

Quote:

Cytochrome P450 (CYP) is a hemeprotein that plays a key role in the metabolism of drugs and other xenobiotics. It has more than 50 enzymes, six of which metabolize up to 90 percent of drugs. Genetic variability (polymorphism) in CYP3A4 and CYP2D6 may influence a patient's response to commonly prescribed drug classes, including beta blockers and antidepressants. In mammals these proteins oxidize steroids, fatty acids, and xenobiotics.



Quote:

Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases of fungi are involved in many essential cellular processes and play diverse roles. They catalyze the conversion of hydrophobic intermediates of primary and secondary metabolic pathways, detoxify natural and environmental pollutants and allow fungi to grow under different conditions.



Quote:

Cytochrome P450 enzymes catalyze a variety of oxidation and some reduction reactions, collectively involving thousands of substrates. A general chemical mechanism can be used to rationalize these reactions, such as steroid hydroxylation.

Actually, much of my exposure to nature and mycology cam from a babushka-like lady observing the 'doctrine of signatures'.

My approach to this question was that named, chemical compounds serve broadly similar functions in both plant and animal life, sometimes.

Can't it be verified, on the drawingboard, for now?

Ok, so all of your links say 4,5-MEO-DMT could only be produced using mycelia culture. The only precursor shown to do anything to the mushroom it self was tryptamine.

You say you ate mushrooms for 5 days strait and was still getting high by the 5th day? In my experience there is a pretty sharp tolerance curve with mushrooms. To get the same effects 5 days in a row you would pretty much need to double your dose everyday. Or add other drugs which I think is possible with the method you used.

However, there is no doubt in my mind that you did NOT make 4,5-HO-DMT uptake into the mushrooms. You may have dissolved 5MEO in water which was then soaked up by the mushrooms needing water but no Psilometh with that method my friend….

If you want Psilomethoxin, you would need to put it in the substrate or add it to agar plates with the mycelium and then extract from there.

The mushroom won’t uptake foreign substances via the enzyme pathway which is needed to produce 4,5-MEO in the mushroom fruits.

Have fun 😎

You would not necessarily need to use any biological route to hydroxylate an organic compound.

Hamilton Morris tested some psilomethoxin mushrooms with LCMS, and it came back as psilocybin + ketamine.  When he contacted the church to report his results, they replied with nothing but a wink emoji.

What i heard is that church sent HM some to test for psilomethoxin. He found none. Church then sent him a second sample containing ketamine to fuck with him, because they couldn’t believe his first result. I think leadership believed, and may yet still believe, that they’ve made psilomethoxin, and has been inclined to dismiss contrary labs as either malicious or incompetent.

Meanwhile, based on extensive bio-assay, i think they’ve made something very interesting that may bear little resemblance to psilomethoxin, and isn't just psilocybin with placebo either. But they don’t know what it is, nor how to make it consistently. I think some samples tested may indeed have been only weak cubes, as 3 of 7 separate packages of sacrament I've sampled have seemed to me. Meanwhile also they continue to call it psilomethoxin without evidence, and prevaricated about whether and how much scheduled material is present.

Meanwhile also, church is building their own lab with a real chemist at considerable expense, because most who’ve tried these mushrooms know they’re onto SOMETHING good. Depending who you ask, chemist is tasked with a) proving psilomethoxin has been there all along, b) finding out what else is there that accounts for the unique effects, c) gearing up for mass enzymatic synthesis of Psilomethoxin(tm) for distribution wherever kratom and CBD and whatever are sold, regardless whether 4-HO-5-MeO-DMT is present, d) doing responsible safety research, e) providing a veneer of scientific cred to what is otherwise a legally tenuous mail-order cubensis church having a for-profit arm PsiloSynth, f) synthesizing actual psilomethoxin and representing somehow that they’ve been making it all along, just without proof, or g) some combination of the above.

I’m staying tuned. I hope the chemist will identify what’s in their sacrament in a scientifically solid way, and how, so it can become available and better understood with or without the church.

If they were pure ketamine I might be down, but I don't know if that would be a good mix.  Either way it's a lie.

I am not sure if they are distributing the samples spiked with Ketamine, or if it's something they sent only to Hamilton to check to see how good his chemical analysis was.

I remember reading Gartz experiments with nn-diethyltryptamine in the journal of basic microbiology issue 29, I think it was called "Biosynthesis of tryptamine derivatives in cultures of Psilocybe" or something similar. He demonstrate the ability to utilise various substituted tryptamines as precursors for biosynthesis in fungi. But since then (I think it was the late 80s) I've not seen anyone successfully reattempt it. Anyone know if anyone has successfully achieved similar results since Gartz in the 80s?

Like during synthesis? It's easy if you start from a material with a hydroxyl group eg, 5-HO- indol 😂 Adding that OH group to an existing tryptamine is a bit harder. Theres just no easy way I can think of to add a hydroxyl at the 5 position of that benzene ring.. Maybe I'm missing the obvious, so please correct me if I'm wrong, I can't remember half of what I once knew 😆
Apparently a french group of researchers synthesised 4-HO-5-MeO-dimethyltryptamine using ortho-vanillin as a starting material. I can't seem to find a free copy of the write up though.

I remember reading Gartz experiments with nn-diethyltryptamine in the journal of basic microbiology issue 29, I think it was called "Biosynthesis of tryptamine derivatives in cultures of Psilocybe" or something similar. He demonstrate the ability to utilise various substituted tryptamines as precursors for biosynthesis in fungi. But since then (I think it was the late 80s) I've not seen anyone successfully reattempt it. Anyone know if anyone has successfully achieved similar results since Gartz in the 80s?





With our current understanding of how psilocybin mushrooms synthesize psilocybin, I Gartz paper doesn't make sense.  In the past few years this pathway has been worked out.  Perhaps new experiments could been done that take advantage of how the enzymes really work rather than how Gartz thought they worked.

Gartz published a lot of nonsense and I think this falls into this category.  He mostly got away with it, but experts in the field have been rolling their eyes at much of his work for years.

We have recently received one of those obnoxious samples and published an article about our findings.



The results obtained by our laboratory, in line with all of those obtained by other independent laboratories, question the actual existence of psilomethoxin in the Church's sacraments: We did not find any psilomethoxin, neither 5-MeO-DMT. Only psilocybin and psilocin (and in traces baeocystin)!



By the way, here is the paper regarding the synthesis of 4-HO-5-MeO-DMT thewoodlandchemist mentioned (found thanks to MAPS and DMT-Nexus). The animal trials included in this paper suggest no bioactivity whereas other researchers even hypothesize about the potential neurotoxcicity due to a hypothetically possible metabolism of psilomethoxin in our body: "Very much like the chemically-induced parkinsonism by MPTP and hydroxydopamine, and lesions resulting from dihydroxytryptamine exposure."

So far neither Gartz, nor the church, nor any one else has unambiguously shown that Psilocybe sp. is capable of guided biosynthesis of 4-HO-5-MeO-DMT aka Psilomethoxin. One might only speculate what the real incentives for the church's claims are...

Responsible stakeholders, and someone puts their money where their mouth is. ^1000

But, how do you deal with someone who has provably given you strange bullshit to eat.

Im so intrigued. If its a scam or moneygrab, why would the church spend all that money on a lab and hire their own chemist?  If biosynthesis was real youd think drug companies would already be all over it but what do i know?  im just a lowly servent of the 'regular' cultivation forum.

Because those who have tried it can't square the effects with that of normal cubensis and placebo. Just because psilomethoxin is likely not present doesn't mean nothing else interesting is.

I think, how would you make that claim really happen, and I come up with brainstorms.

Using the same amount of inspiration and physical effort, you might have arrived at a productive outcome.

Church is usually a scam or moneygrab, where people have invested in the trappings of authority.

Because it makes you think it's legit.  EVERY church has a history of being a scam/moneygrab. 

If anyone thinks they actually created something here, I have a bridge to sell you.  Honestly I don't think it's worth giving them the thought.

Whether or not they had all the scientific parts and pieces, or if they were just a personality cult, they are now publicly accused of distributing the wrong substance.

What is it about? Guys, I see there are people here who know about the chemistry of mushrooms? Do you know exactly what substances cause body noise? Could it be a link to psilomethoxine?

Organic chemistry, in general, is made of major chemical groupings that, in childish terms, could be regarded as Tinker Toys that only fit in certain configurations.

Almost anything -- 5-MEO-DMT, fent, etc, etc -- can be synthesized from several common ingredients.

So, it is never spurious to say that someone has found a possible link.

Except, they have failed chemical testing and gave someone a misidentified substance.
