All reports on baeocystin that I've ever seen report it to be minimally active to inactive. I doubt norbaeocystin would be any more active. Mushrooms are mushrooms, the only difference is potency.
From the shroomery:
"Chemical Analyses: In comparison to other species of Psilocybe, the fruitbodies of Psilocybe azurescens contain unusually high concentrations of psilocybin, psilocin and baeocystin - accumulating to more than 2% of the dry biomass of the mushrooms (Beug & Bigwood, 1982; Gartz, 1989, 1992-1994; Wurst et al., 1984). Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) reveals a nearly identical profile of extracts from P. semilanceata and Psilocybe azurescens (psilocybin, baeocystin and six minor alkaloids), differing only in psilocin content (Gartz, 1985). Baeocystin is present in high concentrations in Psilocybe azurescens and P. semilanceata. Gartz (1993)
has determined that baeocystin is also a hallucinogenic compound."
also theres a chart of known indoles found in psilocybin mushrooms it at the bottom of this link

now im no chemist or pharmacologist, but just from different mushrooms ive taken, talking with other experienced shroomers and the above information... its hard for me to believe that different compositions cant alter the trip somewhat.
so far all ive found concerning the article I mentioned earlier is that it was actually person at the shroomery who took the baeocystin and that they found 10mg to be a full etheogenic dose.
now maybe i lead the OP to believe he could easily find powerfull shrooms with a short duration, which in reality it may be quite hard for the OP to find his "perfect mushroom"... all I know is ive had extremely powerful mushrooms that had a 4 hour duration, some mushrooms with much more euphoria than others, or euphoria felt in different places. and that i believe that there are mushrooms out there that can give you noticibly though sometimes subtly different trips
