- Abstract: The occurrence and extraction of indole derivatives in six species
- from four genera of higher fungi were investigated. By using pure methanol
- for extraction of the mushrooms analysis revealed the highest
- concentrations of psilocybin and baeocystin. The psilocin content of the
- species was higher by using aqueous solutions of alcohols than with
- methanol alone but was an artificial phenomenon caused by enzymatic
- destruction of psilocybin. The extraction with dilute acetic acid yielded
- better results than with the water containing alcohols. The simple one-step
- procedure with methanol for the quantitative extraction is still the safest
- method to obtain the genuine alkaloids from fungal biomass.
