  • The Hallucinogenic Mushrooms: Diversity, Traditions, Use and Abuse with Special Reference to the Genus Psilocybe
    11 The Hallucinogenic Mushrooms: Diversity, Traditions, Use and Abuse with Special Reference to the Genus Psilocybe Gastón Guzmán Instituto de Ecologia, Km 2.5 carretera antigua a Coatepec No. 351 Congregación El Haya, Apartado postal 63, Xalapa, Veracruz 91070, Mexico E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The traditions, uses and abuses, and studies of hallucinogenic mush- rooms, mostly species of Psilocybe, are reviewed and critically analyzed. Amanita muscaria seems to be the oldest hallucinogenic mushroom used by man, although the first hallucinogenic substance, LSD, was isolated from ergot, Claviceps purpurea. Amanita muscaria is still used in North Eastern Siberia and by some North American Indians. In the past, some Mexican Indians, as well as Guatemalan Indians possibly used A. muscaria. Psilocybe has more than 150 hallucinogenic species throughout the world, but they are used in traditional ways only in Mexico and New Guinea. Some evidence suggests that a primitive tribe in the Sahara used Psilocybe in religions ceremonies centuries before Christ. New ethnomycological observations in Mexico are also described. INTRODUCTION After hallucinogenic mushrooms were discovered in Mexico in 1956-1958 by Mr. and Mrs. Wasson and Heim (Heim, 1956; Heim and Wasson, 1958; Wasson, 1957; Wasson and Wasson, 1957) and Singer and Smith (1958), a lot of attention has been devoted to them, and many publications have 257 flooded the literature (e.g. Singer, 1958a, b, 1978; Gray, 1973; Schultes, 1976; Oss and Oeric, 1976; Pollock, 1977; Ott and Bigwood, 1978; Wasson, 1980; Ammirati et al., 1985; Stamets, 1996). However, not all the fungi reported really have hallucinogenic properties, because several of them were listed by erroneous interpretation of information given by the ethnic groups originally interviewed or by the bibliography.

GUZMAN Escuela Nacional de Ciencias Biologicas, I. P. N., A. P. 26-378, Mexico 4, D. F. and E. HORAK Institut Spezielle Botanik, ETHZ, 8092 Zürich, Schweiz Zusammenfassung. Aus Auslralasien (Papua New Guinea, Neu Kaledonien und Neu Seeland) werden 6 neue Arten von Psilocybe (P. brunneo- cystidiata, P. nothofagensis, P. papuana, P. inconspicua, P. neocaledonica and P. novae-zelandiae) beschrieben. Zudem wird die systematische Stellung dieser Taxa bezüglich P. montana, P. caerulescens, P. mammillata, P. yungensis und anderer von GUZMÄN in den tropischen Wäldern von Mexiko gefundenen Psilocybe-Arten diskutiert. Between 1967 and 1977 one of the authors (HORAK) made several collections of Psilocybe in Papua New Guinea, New Caledonia and New Zealand. After studying the material it was surprising to note that all fungi collected do represent new species. This fact may indicate the high grade of endemism of the fungus flora on the Australasian Islands. Nevertheless, the new taxa described have interesting taxo- nomic relationships with species known from tropical America and temperate Eurasia. These connections are discussed in the text. Concerning Psilocybe only three records are published so far from the before mentioned Australasian region: 1.

  • Baeocystin in Psilocybe, Conocybe and Panaeolus
    Baeocystin in Psilocybe, Conocybe and Panaeolus DAVIDB. REPKE* P.O. Box 899, Los Altos, California 94022 and DALE THOMASLESLIE 104 Whitney Avenue, Los Gatos, California 95030 and GAST6N GUZMAN Escuela Nacional de Ciencias Biologicas, l.P.N. Apartado Postal 26-378, Mexico 4. D.F. ABSTRACT.--Sixty collections of ten species referred to three families of the Agaricales have been analyzed for the presence of baeocystin by thin-layer chro- matography. Baeocystin was detected in collections of Peilocy be, Conocy be, and Panaeolus from the U.S.A., Canada, Mexico, and Peru. Laboratory cultivated fruit- bodies of Psilocybe cubensis, P. sernilanceata, and P. cyanescens were also studied. Intra-species variation in the presence and decay rate of baeocystin, psilocybin, and psilocin are discussed in terms of age and storage factors. In addition, evidence is presented to support the presence of 4-hydroxytryptamine in collections of P. baeo- cystis and P. cyanescens. The possible significance of baeocystin and 4·hydroxy- tryptamine in the biosynthesis of psilocybin in these organisms is discussed. A recent report (1) described the isolation of baeocystin [4-phosphoryloxy-3- (2-methylaminoethyl)indole] from collections of Psilocy be semilanceata (Fr.) Kummer. Previously, baeocystin had been detected only in Psilocybe baeo- cystis Singer and Smith (2, 3). This report now describes some further obser- vations regarding the occurrence of baeocystin in species referred to three families of Agaricales. Stein, Closs, and Gabel (4) isolated a compound from an agaric that they described as Panaeolus venenosus Murr., a species which is now considered synonomous with Panaeolus subbaIteatus (Berk. and Br.) Sacco (5, 6).

  • Religious Use of Hallucinogenic Fungi: a Comparison Between Siberian and Mesoamerican Cultures
    Karstenia 32:71-80.1992 Religious use of hallucinogenic fungi: A comparison between Siberian and Mesoamerican cultures HARRI NYBERG NYBERG, H.1992: Religious use of hallucinogenic fungi: A comparison between Si­ berian and Mesoamerican cultures. - Karstenia 32:71-80. The religious uses of hallucinogenic mushrooms in northern Eurasian and Mesoamerican cultures are compared. In northern Eurasia, some shamanistic cultures have used the Fly Agaric (Amanita muscaria (L.) Pers.); Mesoamericans, mainly mushrooms of the genus Psilocybe (Fr.) Kummer. The hallucinogenic potency of the former is due to isoxazole compounds and of the laner, psilocybine-type compounds. Despite similarities between the uses in these two cultural areas, there are also marked differences: the Fly Agaric did not seem to have been an object of religious, ritual veneration in northern Eurasia, whereas this was true for the Psilocybe mushrooms in Mesoamerica. This is suggested to be a result of the difference between these two mushroom groups in their pharmacological and clinical effects on man and also a result of vast cultural differences between the areas in question. The cultural and religious differences between northern Eurasian and Mesoamer­ ican use of hallucinogenic fungi and the significance of these differences are discussed.
