Acetone wash of cubensis powder
    #28498938 - 10/10/23 02:52 PM (3 months, 16 days ago)

Has anyone tried washing dried cubensis with acetone?  I am looking to remove as much of the non-active parts of the mushroom as possible in order to reduce the body load compared to my typical Lemon Tek trip.  I read in a post from long ago that psilocybin is not soluble in acetone, but I don't believe that to be 100% true.  At least some of it will likely wash away, but I have no idea how much (20%, 50%, 80%???).  I would then fully dry the solids and do an alcohol extraction, which I would filter a couple of times with a Buckner funnel and reduce down as much as possible to store in the freezer.  I have plenty of left over dried cubensis, so efficiency is not a primary concern.  I want to get the cleanest trip possible.


I would love to hear from anyone with experience using acetone and shrooms.  The Acetone I have is food grade, 100% pure.  Will this work?  Is it worth doing?  What do you think?  Thanks in advance!

Pretty sure ethanol is the preferred solvent for washing mushroom material.

I took some powdered shrooms that I found in a drawer that were too old to use and tried a 5 minute cold acetone wash on them.  I mixed about 20 ml of powder with about 40 ml of solvent.  Shook vigorously then filtered.  Lost only 5% in dry weight before and after.  The sticky/resin materials seem to be gone.  The powder dried rapidly and completely. There was no acetone smell at all after a few hours. I used food grade pure acetone bought online.  I am encouraged that the process seems to work and I am hoping will make for better filtration and a less sticky extraction.  More to come.

Methanol and ethanol have almost double the polarity of acetone, which is probably why I've only read about them used.

Better off for people to stick with ethanol. Methanol can blind/kill you if youre stupid.

Acetone boils at room temp. I use it for meth. Why would you do alchohol extract. Acetone wash pull it up through your crude cotton filter. And wait 30 mi utes. It’s all evaporated. And to check light it on fire. If it’s not dry you’ll know it. I only found pure acetone on Amazon. Corner market has something else at .1% but it didn’t seem to make a huge difference. I’m still alive. And omg the dirtiest oiliest acetone like I was washing kerosene coolant off. So I didn’t care I needed it right then.

Acetone is really good at making imines out of amines.
I would not use it for any molecules that have amine groups on them.

if you properly purge the extract of all moisture and solvents, in a vacuum oven.. you can turn mushroom extract into a very hard almost glass like slab of wax.

looks exactly like a dark shatter.  the slab can then be blended down into a crystal powder.  I tried steps by attempting to wash the final product and started washing out some of the actives.  By washing it, it also turned the final product into a gooey slab that can't be easily dry blended.
