- Subject: TEONANACATL 1995 PCYAO, part 3: analytical data
-
-
- * Samples of Psilocybe Cyanescens Astoria Ossip (from outdoor
- natural culture) and also Psilocybe Cubensis (cultivated on straw,
- indoors) and Psilocybe Semilanceata (collected from their natural
- habitat) were found to contain the following amounts (in % of dry
- weight) of alkaloids:
-
- Psilocybin Psilocin "total" (1)
-
- PCY-AO-94, caps 0.7 0.4 1.3
- PCY-AO-94, stems 0.8 0.2 1.1
- PCY-AO-93 1.0 0.4 1.6
- PCY-AO-91 0.9 0.1 1.0
-
- Ps.Cub.-91 0.4 0.1 0.5
-
- Ps.S.-93, grade A+ 1.1 - (2) 1.2
-
- These results are in very good agreement with the estimated
- relative potencies published in part 1.
-
- All samples had been dried below 30 xC, and stored refrigerated
- in airtight containers. Analyses were performed very recently by
- Dr. Jochen Gartz - certainly "the" European expert in this field -
- at the University of Leipzig. An American edition of Dr. Gartz's
- book "Narrenschwaemme", which contains a lot of information not to
- be found anywhere else, should be available this spring (3).
-
- (1) After ingestion, psilocybin is hydrolized to psilocin pretty
- rapidly and completely. 100 mg of psilocybin (C12H17N2O4P, MW=
- 284.3) are equivalent to 72 mg of psilocin (C12H16N2O, MW= 204.3),
- or - in oth"total" here refers to the (thus calculated, and rounded)
- equivalent of psilocybin.
-
-
- (2) Ps. Semilanceata also contained 0.2 % baeocystin (others only
- traces). Baeocystin has effects on humans very similar to those of
- psiloc(yb)in, but is weaker (per weight) (J.Gartz, pers. comm.)
