I have done many honey oil / butane extractions with crappy bud / leaf. Works well.

But I don't recommend doing it to mushrooms. Unless the polarity issue gets solved. Even then the butane will always extract fats & oils

I tried this about 6 months ago with 10-15 dry grams of psilocybe cubensis z-strain.

I used a film container with Lighter fittings & special filters attached to it, Butane & Evaporating dish,

First blast got a amber coloured liquid, I gave it another blast until the liquid leaving the canister was clearer.

The evaporating dish with the liquid was then left in the kitchen on top of my food drier with windows / doors open.

After 5-10 min most of the butane had gone, So I washed all the mushroom goo into the centre of the dish with a little more butane.After this evaporated I turned off the drier, At this point it was still goo / tar. & let it finish naturally overnight.


Next day I looked at the pile.....Same thing still goo / tar.
So I put it in the drier for another hour and it was still tar, I had some shit to do so I put it in a cupboard to check o later.

Later that night after forgetting about it for a while I had a look at it.
I pushed it around with my finger a little ,It was still a pile if gooey stuff.
I licked my finger oh my god did that taste fucked up. I tried to scrape up some more to eat but the taste was so bad I was only able to eat half of it.
After an hour or two of no effects I washed the rest of the goo / tar off the evaporating dish.

Unfortunately I chucked out the mushroom powder so this was a total waste.

step 14: When gas will leave you receive absolutely dry crystals or salts(until as I have evaporated all gas available in my jars I have added a little  water and 190 proof in a jar...but about it later)..... It is pure substances!(And I think that it is safe for health)

For the extraction of psilocybin and psilocin from mushrooms 100 mg of dried and pulverized plant material are added to 9 ml methanol. This mixture is ultrasonicated for 120 min (maximum temperature of the mixture 50^C). Then the volume is brought to 10.0 ml with methanol; the mixture is centrifuged and the supernatant is used for the HPLC determination.

Mushroom samples were freeze-dried, sealed in plastic, and stored either
at -5 “C or at -60 “C. After grinding, 250-mg portions were stirred at room
temperature with roughly 7 ml of methanol for 12 hours, filtered through a
0.5 pm Teflon filter, rinsed with additional methanol, and diluted to exactly
10 ml. An injection volume of 10 microlitres produced satisfactory peak size at 0.1
a.u.f.s. The instrument was calibrated with psilocybin and psilocin standards
obtained from the National Institute on Drug Abuse.

Standard solutions of Psilocin and 4HIAA were prepared in water containing 25 mM of ascorbic acid and stored in light-protected vials at -25°C. These solutions were found to be stable for at least 3 weeks.

Ying and Ming (1994) used ethylenediaminetetraacetate disodium salt dihydrate (EDTA) to protect dopamine and related compounds from oxidation by scavenging metal ions which are considered to potentiate autooxidation of indole compounds. However, EDTA completely failed to protect psilocin and 4HIAA and also experiments with sodium sulfite and sodium hydrogen sulfite were not successful. Finaly ascorbic acid used in concentrations higher than 10 mM showed to be an effective compound to stabilize the phenolic analytes. Stress tests with unstabilized aqueous psilocin and 4HIAA standard solutions and solutions containing 1, 6, 10 and 25 mM of ascorbic acid were performed. All solutions were stored in an ultrasonic bath under light exposure to accelerate the oxidation rate of the analytes.
