Determination of Tryptamine Alkaloids and Their Stability in Psychotropic Mushrooms

mycolabadmin

Researchers analyzed the active compounds found in psychotropic mushrooms used for therapy and microdosing. They found that the amounts of these compounds vary greatly between mushroom samples and can degrade during storage. Fresh mushrooms stored in freezers degraded faster than dried mushrooms kept at room temperature in the dark, suggesting proper storage is important for maintaining therapeutic effectiveness.

Chemical Composition and Biological Activities of Psilocybe Mushrooms: Gaps and Perspectives

mycolabadmin

This review examined research on Psilocybe mushrooms and their chemical compounds, particularly psilocybin and psilocin, which show promise for treating depression and anxiety. The authors found that while these psychoactive compounds have been extensively studied, many other chemical substances in these mushrooms remain unexplored. Additionally, preliminary studies suggest these mushrooms may have antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, though more research is needed. The review highlights significant gaps in understanding the full potential of Psilocybe mushrooms for medical applications.
