Summary

AI-generated from the abstract

Psilocybin and baeocystin, but not psilocin, were detected in dried fruit bodies of the mushroom Pluteus salicinus using HPLC and TLC. Caps contained more psilocybin than stems, with psilocybin levels reaching up to 1.57% in caps. Urea was also found, almost exclusively in the caps, along with baeocystin and tryptophan, which were also limited to the caps. A correlation existed between psilocybin and urea content.

Abstract

Using HPLC and TLC, psilocybin and baeocystin but not psilocin were found in extracts of dried fruit bodies of PLUTEUS SALICINUS. Caps contain more psilocybin than stems. The amount of psilocybin varies and was as high as 1.57% in the caps. Urea was also detected. This substance is virtually exclusively localized in the caps. Baeocystin and tryptophan were also found only in the caps. There was a correlation between the content of psilocybin and that of urea.
