Abstract
Mycelial cultures of Psilocybe cubensis, with the ability to form psilocybin and psilocin de-novo, also hydroxylated and methylated fed tryptamine to give psilocin in up to 3.3% dry
mass of the obtained fruit bodies. By using HPLC and TLC, it was found that these
mushrooms contain only a small amount of psilocybin (0.01-0.2% dry mass). The values
of psilocin are the highest described in any mushrooms.
