Hallucinogenic Mushrooms: a Guide
Hallucinogenic Mushrooms: A Guide Presented by the Hamre Center for Health and Wellness Table of Contents Introduction Harm Reduction What are Hallucinogenic Mushrooms? What are the U.S. and MN Laws Surrounding Mushrooms? What Kinds of Hallucinogenic Mushrooms are There? How are Hallucinogenic Mushrooms Ingested? How Do Hallucinogenic Mushrooms Affect the Brain? What are Some Short-Term Effects of Use? What are Some Long-Term Effects of Use? How Do Hallucinogenic Mushrooms Interact with Alcohol? What are Some Harm-Reduction Strategies for Use? Are Hallucinogenic Mushrooms Addictive? What are Some Substance Abuse Help Resources? Introduction Welcome to the Hamre Center’s hallucinogenic mushrooms guide! Thank you for wanting to learn more about “magic mushrooms” and how they can affect you. This guide is designed to be a science-based resource to help inform people about hallucinogenic mushrooms. We use a harm-reduction model, which we’ll talk about more in the next slide. If you have any concerns regarding your own personal health and mushrooms, we strongly recommend that you reach out to your health care provider. No matter the legal status of hallucinogenic mushrooms in your state or country, health care providers are confidential resources. Your health is their primary concern. Harm Reduction ● The harm reduction model used in this curriculum is about neither encouraging or discouraging use; at its core, harm reduction simply aims to minimize the negative consequences of behaviors. ● Please read through the Hamre Center’s statement on use and harm reduction below: “The Hamre Center knows pleasure drives drug use, not the avoidance of harm. -
The Production of Psilocybin in Submerged Culture by Psilocybe Cubensis
The Production of Psilocybin in Submerged Culture by Psilocybe cubensis PHILIP CATALF01!O' AND V. E. TYLER, JR. (Drug Plant Laboratory, College of Pharmacy, University of Washington, Seattle 5) Psychotomimetic mushrooms have long been employed as intoxicants by vari- ous native peoples. Schultes (10) describes their employment in magico-religious ceremonies by the Indians of Mexico and Central America, and extensive docu- mentation of such usage has been provided by the Wassons (14, 15) and by Heim and Wasson (6). Especially noteworthy is the occurrence of certain indole derivatives in many of the basidiomycetes to which psychotomimetic properties have been ascribed. Several species of Panaeolus contain serotonin (o-hydroxytryptamine), first demonstrated in a fungus, Panaeolus campanulatus (Fr.) Quel., by Tyler (13). Bufotenine (5-hydroxy-N,lV-dimethyltryptamine) was shown to exist in Amanita citrina (Shaeff.) S. F. Gray [Amanita mappa (Lasch) Quel.] by Wieland and Motzel (16). Psilocybin (4-phosphoryl-N,N-dimethyltryptamine), together with the closely related psilocin (4-hydroxy-1Y,N-dimethyltryptamine), was first found in Psilocybe species by Hofmann, et al. (8).The latter two principles are the most recently discovered hallucinogens in basidiomycetes and are of particular interest since they are the only principles isolated from mushrooms 'w-hichare capable of inducing psychotomimetic effects in human beings following oral ingestion. Heim, et al.(7), established conditions favoring the formation of both sclerotia and sporocarps from mycelial growth obtained upon subculture of the spores and tissue of the naturally occurring Mexican Psilocybe species. In this way they obtained ample amounts of materials for isolation and structural studies of the active principles. -

Medium A was devised by Catalfomo and Tyler and Medium B was a modification of a medium which has been used for ergot alkaloid production by Claviceps purpurea. Only when the fungus was kept on Sabouraud agar plates.did it subsequently produce psilocybin when transferred to liquid media. A quantitative time-course study of psilocybin production in the two media was carried out. Maximal production appeared on the fifth day. -

The analyte and Internal Standard (IS), selenox, were extracted from human plasma by solid-phase extraction and separated on a Zorbax SB-C18 column using methanol–0.2% formic acid as mobile phase. Detection was performed using an atmospheric pressure chemical ionization source and mass spectrometric positive Multi-Reaction-Monitoring-Mode (+MRM) at an ion voltage of +2000 V. The assay was linear over the concentration range 1–500 ng/mL with the Lowest Limit of Quantification (LLOQ) of 1 ng/mL. The method also afforded satisfactory results in terms of the sensitivity, specificity, precision (intra- and inter-day, CV<10%), accuracy, recovery as well as the stability of the analyte under various conditions. The method can be applied to pharmacokinetic and toxicological studies. Keywords: Bromantane; Liquid Chromatography–Mass Spectrom- over LLE, including better specificity, the ability to obtain cleaner etry (LC–MS/MS); APCI; Plasma samples, good reproducibility, and a substantial reduction in the volume of solvent required [13]. -
