What temperature breaks down psilocybin and psilocin?

[orangelicker]

Does anyone know...

At what temperature will psilocybin/psilocin break down? Can?t find an exact temperature or even a range/estimate. (I?m sure it?s a different temp for each)

Someone in another discussion is trying to tell me ?it?s a myth and you?re lying,? when I said that frying up your psilocybin mushies will destroy/denature the alkaloids.

Hey, I have been wrong before, but I have heard a couple stories about cooking destroying the potency, so I dunno.

Now, I?m curious. I know that heat will accelerate oxidation.

Thanks!

Yeah I think even boiling water will begin to break down psilocybin, so I definitely wouldn't want to fry them unless I had a shit ton and wanted to just recklessly make an omelette of random potency.

I don't think it's too much of a binary thing where a certain temperature threshold causes psilocybin to suddenly break down, more like it's a very fragile molecule that breaks down easily the warmer it gets.

Even mushroom tea is best to make with less than boiling water from what I know...

Sorry I can't supply you with any hard facts to support your arguement, maybe someone else can.
