Agreed.  Their insistence that exposure to light during drying causes a loss in potency is laughable.

Quote:

To verify which mushroom storage is most suitable for maintaining the tryptamine content, five fresh fruiting bodies of
P. cubensis (height of approximately 20 cm) were cut lengthwise into equivalent portions. Subsequently, these parts were stored under various conditions that are given in Table 1. The cultured mushrooms were then dried in the dark at room temperature. Approximately 10 dried fruiting bodies were homogeneously powdered using a mortar and pestle. The powder was divided into five different conditions according to Table 1.

Their results on changes in temperature were the opposite as well. Higher-temp extractions led to a total loss of psilocin and a partial loss of psilocybin.

I forget where but I just read an article about a research lab growing mushrooms for some psilocybin study, where they complained about growing a bunch of mold and how hard it was, and they said “there’s no textbook for growing magic mushrooms” lol. No one thought to do a 1 second search online to find this place I guess

Lead scientist Naomi Gerrard told 1News cultivating the mushrooms was a "humbling experience".

"Nobody has tried to do this before. We've grown a lot of mould along the way, but there is no textbook on how to do this."
