Abstract
Abstract The psychotropically active principles of the Mexican hallucinogenic fungus Psilocybe maxicana H EIM have been isolated and obtained in crystalline form. The two new substances, which have been called psilocybin and psilocin , are present in the fruit bodies, the artificially cultivated mycelium and in the sclerotia. The dried mushroom contains 0.2 to 0.4 per cent psilocybin. Psilocin is present, at the most, in trace amounts only.
