Synthesis / Occurrences
Psilocybin is a natural psychedelic compound that has been found in over 200 Basidiomycota mushrooms. The majority of these mushrooms are found in Mexico, with the rest of them being found in the US and Canada, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and associated islands. In general, psilocybin mushrooms are dark-spored, gilled mushrooms that usually grow in soils rich in humus and plant debris. Although these mushrooms are found all around the world, they are mostly found in humid dark forests. . Although the caps and the stems both contain the psilocybin, the caps contain most of the psychedelic compound. All different species of these psilocybin containing mushrooms have different potency. The amount of potency depends on many different things like the strain, species, and size. Oddly enough, the smaller the mushroom, the higher the potency. Cultivated mushrooms have a more reliable psilocybin content rather than the unpredictable wild grown mushrooms. The potency of the mushroom is longer kept if dried and can be kept for long periods of times while freshly stored mushrooms can lose all potency after only a few short weeks. .
