Welcome To the Mushrooms Subthread on Extraction
[Link to Big & Dandy Mushrooms Thread]
More recent post on the subject formulating a more complete question on the topic of extraction of mushrooms to
yield alkaloid mixtures, or even - if possible - pure psiloc(yb)in.
[original post:]
This is a bit of an odd question, and i'm not expecting too many replies since i doubt very people have actually attempted this, however i could be wrong!
So, a friend of mine is thinking of attempting an extraction of the alkaloids from professionally grown fresh cubensis magic mushrooms.
What he'd end up with would be these alkaloids in HCL form (with some messing about).
Why do this?
Well, just for the sake of experimenting with the pure psychoactive constituents of mushrooms to see if it's any different to the real mushroom experience.
Also, we are toying with the idea of snorted Psilocybin HCL, and possibly other routes of adminsitration (IM).
Has anybody else tried pure psilocybin/cin or baeocystin? Could you describe the effects, dose and alittel bit about the experience? Could you also give a brief account of the extraction method you used also?
Thanks

Let's say I had a good quantity of psilocybes, how best would I extract the psilocybin and psilocin (I know psilocin will likely degrade and the yield of it will be fairly low since it is fairly delicate)? I was looking at various sources and some say alcohol extraction, but some sources say that they are insoluble in alcohol (Shulgin says it's nearly insoluble in boiling ethanol, which I assume has a higher psilo solubility than room temp ethanol).
Ideally, I'd like something extremely potent, and more importantly, portable.
I'm traveling overseas in a few months, and I'd like to bring some over, but bringing dried mushies on a plane seems like a bad idea. A small container of extract seems much easier to conceal.
In addition, I get terrible nausea from booms. Every mushroom trip I've ever taken, I've either thrown up or had a terrible time because I was fighting the nausea the whole time, so I want to try purer extract without the nasty mushroom material.
I've also read that water extraction works, but it requires high temps, which I'm afraid will degrade the active chemicals.
I've heard of people extracting relatively pure psilo crystals and seen pics in a tek, but they seem too good to be true (which, in my experience, means it is)

shows a solution which also seems to be fairly pure (look at the precip)
