Summary
AI-generated from the abstractFrom a hallucinogenic mushroom, Gymnopilus spectabilis, two compounds were isolated and characterized: cerevisterol and a new acetylenic compound, 4,6-decadiyne-1,3,8-triol. Also found were ergosterol, ergosteryl peroxide, and choline. Psilocybin and related psychoactive compounds were not detected in these collections, although psilocybin has been found in other Japanese mushrooms.

Abstract
Cerevisterol (1) and a new acetylenic compound, 4, 6-decadiyne-1, 3, 8-triol (2) were isolated and characterized from a hallucinogenic mushroom, Gymnopilus spectabilis (FR.) A. H. SMITH, along with ergosterol, ergosteryl peroxide and choline.Psychoactive compounds such as psilocybin and related compounds have not been detected in our collections of this mushroom, though some psilocybin has been found in several other Japanese mushrooms.
