What is the best way to extract and crystalize psilocybe from mushrooms?

“Beam me up Scotty.”

My nickname when I first tried Weed & many other drugs in college was “Spaceship Wade.”

9 years later and I understand why mushrooms are being extracted.

Wouldnt this leave quite a bit of shroom dust/goodies in the coffee grinder?

Coffee grinder, yes (although a paint brush solves that)… which was why it was dedicated.

With the oster, the grinder becomes the storage jar.

In terms of smoking/vaping extract, it seams to be quite difficult…
I have an idea. I got it when I was reminded of my juvenile asthma and my old nebulizer which was used to deliver medicine in vapour form.

What if the extract(water soluble) was dissolved in water and then vaporized with a steam inhaler?
Not exacally dabbing. But, we could give it a cool name, too.

The active ingredients are extremely thermolabile.

An inhaler might get them into your lungs intact, not sure that’s what you want though…

What @Future said, psilocybin and psilicin are extremely delicate, when I had fresh dried fungi vs standard street material the variance was apparent. My understanding is you end up with an oily paste, water is the only solvent I’m aware of that works, temp control would be very necessary, I wonder if you could vap it or distill it solely using a vacuum :thinking:.

I have had some intrigue in this for some time but day-to-day grind keeps me busy.

I have also heard that a mild amount of citric acid in the water helps. But I’ve not sat and played with it.

I wouldn’t know how miscible it is in etoh, I’ve not heard ofbits use in extracts I’ve seen, but outside of drug research its practically in its back yard blasting phase.

You’ve actually tried this?

Curious what the yield is

Isn’t it possible to make goo by simply putting shredded material in pot of water then boiling it down… Ooo had some bomb mushroom tincture… wondering how it was made! Clear water some type of alcohol…

What do you consider a massive dose?

I can fit around .25 grams in a 0 capsule. If you want to do a 5 gram heroic dose, that’s 20 caps. Be nice to get that down to less.

And with all the caps, you still get a shroom burp. I’d like to avoid that.

A few years ago I was able to get some of the junk to drop out of ethanol by winterizing at -20C for a few months. Grew these. Not psychoactive.

Jajajaja Heroic dose? 5 grams… How about 50 dried grams Kilindi lyi style? Few buds just ate 30 and the other 25 grams… . McKenna’s heroic dose is no longer the standard…
Hyperspace…

Hey everyone
Is there anyone here who can help us with our mushroom extraction project? We are looking for valid SOPs and advice that have been examined and verified. We have access to mass spec and test for the active components. If you can help, please DM me to join as a consultant.
Thanks.

If you had read enough, you would know that @cyclopath has given more spoons to the community than most anyone else. People usually don’t use the search function (or at least don’t use it well), making his suggestion justified. No need to rewrite everything out 1000 times.

This is your first post, and you haven’t started off giving people the best impression of you. If you want help, this is not an appropriate way to go about it. Your frustration could have been voiced in a way as to be constructive instead of combative. Go back to Reddit or IG with this bovine excrement. It doesn’t belong here.

What about boiling in citric acid and separating the psilocin citrate? @NxxxxxS did you run through a column?

never tried a pure citric acid & psilocybe extraction
all of my have been aqueous ethanol with 5ml acetic acid
ive noticed that if you convert the psilocybin to psilocin before ingestion its not as “intense” im wondering if its something with how your brain processes everything to the active component.
.
To me has a similarity of putting mushrooms in Oj. good high, fast acting, fast come down.
vs
the extract i made last year intense build up, fast acting, long duration (25+minutes)
