aeruginascine

canndo · May 5, 2012

I recently read that this aeruginascine is a realtively new discovery. It seems that some mushroom speicies produce this instead of or with the psilocybin complex. It is said that it is contained in mushrooms that bruise green or green/blue. I have seens such a greening reaction and never thought much about it. I can find very little about any differences in the high produced. It might be interesting to know more

Very interesting

I always wondered if some mushies didnt have different substances, as some mushroom seemed to posses unique qualities, thanks for bringing this to our attention! :mrgreen:

Very interesting Canndo. Thanks for the info. It seems like it should add to or change the type of high received.

It makes sense it exists. That lone pair on the nitrogen is pretty easy to alkylate, and the mechanism of tryptamine N-alkylation in mushrooms probably proceeds that way because baeocystin is the monomethyl ion and is found in all psilocybin containing mushrooms. I'm curious about its activity alone, baeocystin is roughly equipotent to psilocybin. It'd be really easy to make from psilocybin (methylate with methyl iodide).

Sounds like mrduck has a summer project... be sure to report back to the class

I'm retired from that line of work man.

Whenever I mention green someone corrects me with "green is bad, you want blue." I know. I have seen this green on one batch of sclerotia, can't remember the species, and a few wild cubes. I always thought shrooms was shrooms but having tried different ones from around the world there are definite differences!
I also find when I do an extraction I get something different again, clean and controllable, less unique and spiritual
