Psilocin * 1
    #28590982 - 12/20/23 08:00 AM (1 month, 8 days ago)

Was discussing psilocin with a friend.  They had eaten very fresh psilocybes, less than a week old.  They were amazed with how fast the come up was. They were tripping in about 5 minutes.  We have noticed the same with very fresh mushrooms. Presumably this is because psilocin degrades quickly, leaving mostly just psilocybin in older batches.  We have found literature suggesting light is a main culprit in the degradation of psilocin.  We never thought to dry mushrooms in complete darkness, but the science would suggest this is the best way to maintain potency (which will drop substantially as the weeks pass, regardless.)  Anyone else with tips or tricks they have discovered to keep mushrooms at their strongest for the longest?

This is why, whenever possible, I make a huge batch of citrus tea with freshies. Freezing preserves the freshness of those doses.

part of the magic is lost when drying - maybe secondary alkaloids not fully understood yet? making tea with fresh fruit and freezing into portions works great though.

with dry material the goodies are "locked" in a dry fibrous matrix which takes time for stomach acid to break down. then you also have to wait for the psilocybin to be converted to psilocin in the body. whereas with fresh you're eating a higher concentration of straight psilocin suspended in a squishy 90% water medium, which is both easy to digest and doesn't need to be dephosphorylated for the come up to start.

to preserve potency when drying, it's best to dry them as fast and hot as possible (max heat in a dehydrator). 140F+ denatures the enzymes responsible for breaking down the alkaloids in nature, and the faster all the water is driven out the faster the cells harden up and lock in the goodies. then store in airtight containers with desiccant packs.

I made peppermint tea brewed 15 minutes with 2gm whole dried APE mushrooms (and I finger squeezed the hot re-hydrated bits back into the tea cup before drinking all the fluid) and it kicked my ass.
tremendous visuals and I had to lie down
the source was professional and the air tight product packaging was opaque aluminized plastic with a ziplock re-seal top. no light got in.

Dry them immediately in a dehumidifier until they are cracker dry, and then seal them airtight in a plastic bag, or multiple, however you want. Then put them in the freezer in a dark location. Trust me, not much potency is lost.

Fresh mushrooms are better because they can digest easier, unless you make a tea or something. I have always eaten mushrooms whole. I have had a dinner plate of dried mushrooms at once. Tea is cool, but unless you have a problem with mushrooms, it is best to eat them fresh. This is why, I think, if one were to hypothetically procure some, unless an enthusiast, then they would want to aim for planning the trip, preferably as a sacred medicine or sacrament put aside and planned for. With fresh mushrooms, you know you will have a better trip, because the stomach problems are not as bad, like having to shit. Lol. In the story the wolf of wallstreet he takes an enema before a big quaalude binge because he didn't want having to shit to ruin it or get him in trouble. LOL. Smart actually. I personally hate enemas, but they do actually help before a large dose of mushrooms. I'm not fooling around. It's something to consider. I don't like having to take a massive dump if I'm tripping, because sometimes it does give your stomach that jolt. Etc. Etc. Good luck.

I make tea from dried mushrooms and can usually feel something within 10 minutes.

Other psychedelics too, depending on the dose.

I always do it on an empty stomach, that effects the time to onset as well

The study linked measured greatest potency loss for samples that were frozen.  The link doesn't seem to work when clicked today to re-reference. (sorry !)  The lemon juice step may change the results, but in theory would make potency drop off worse.  If the TEK converts Psilocybin to Psilocin, and Psilocin degrades faster - then you would only want to perform the TEK after bringing it out of storage.  Are you saying you do the lemon extraction and then freeze, or you just do the extraction on the fresh goods and freeze the rest.  Thanks for your insights!  :smile:

Thanks for the drying tip to dry "fast'.  We have a dehydrator but rarely whip it out because it is easier to just leave the medicine to air dry and not deal with dehydrator cleanup etc.  Sounds like it is worth the trouble.  Thanks again!  :smile:

Yes, I process a whole batch. Around 300 grams for a batch. They are much more "shimmerey" than the same process from dried fruits.


See the tea tek in my signature.

Ah thank you @Freedom!

Re-reading it appears tryptamine degradation is the worst under freezing conditions for psilocybin, baeocystin, norbaeocystin, and aeruginascin.  Psilocin on the other hand held up under freezing in this study.  "significantly lower concentrations of all of the analytes were detected except for psilocin"

Their conclusion doesn't focus on psilocin specifically, but if the goal is to optimize for psilocin - then you would want to perform the lemon tek and then freeze.  If you want the full array of active compounds, dry in the dark at room temperature.  This feels like nature winking at us, since the easiest and most available method of storage also seems to be the best overall. 

TY all for holding space to explore this

LOL. The length of Primal Soup's TL;DR for the TeaTek is astounding.  :smile: Will take us awhile to process, good looks Sizl.

If you are drying using a true dehydrator the way that was mentioned it is far far superior.
I stopped keeping mine in the freezer years ago because unless you let the jars/mushrooms come back to room temp before opening them warmer air immediately condensates on the inside and you begin to reintroduce moisture to the jars and overtime spoil your shrooms.

Ime with eating fresh mushrooms it’s great but harder to measure an acute dose. The x10 general rule doesn’t hold true. I think it may be x11 or x12 for Pan cyan and P cyans.

something else i noticed in the paper was that with fresh mushrooms there was less loss with bigger chunks instead of being ground up

What do you mean by freezing conditions? ... That doesn't make sense logically and scientifically.

Interesting study. When they say:

"... in the case of fresh fungal fruiting bodies, the extraction of larger unprocessed pieces of fresh fruiting bodies was found to be more effective than chopping these mushrooms into small pieces."

I was under the impression that chopping up fresh material before making tea increased extraction efficacy, but this paper says the opposite. Has anyone tried both methods and noticed a difference?
