Mushroom Crystals.

Extracted psilocibyn/psilocin from p.cubes. used 70% isopropyl as a solvent.

what you wana do. take 14g or an ounce of dry shrooms.
crush into fine powder/shreds, put that in a mason jar and cover with alcohol to about half an inch over the shrooms.

either close the jar and let rest for 24h shaking from time to time.
or you can sit the jar in a saucepan filled with hot water and heat the mix a bit for about an hour. you dont want the alcohol to boil.

then you will strain the mixture to separate alcohol from the mushrooms.
coffee filters work great. i suggest keeping those mushroom and doing a 2nd soak in fresh alcohol to get the remaining alkaloids.

now you should have some amber colored isopropyl with a slight smell of shrooms.

what i do then is evaporate the alcohol in a pan and what is left is some amber' yellowish crystals.. with an ounce of shrooms i can extract 3g crystals.

the point is that you dont have to eat mushrooms anymore. i hate the taste and nausea and this fixes both issues.. the trip comes on much faster . your stomach doesnt have to digest a huge pile of fungus to get the alkaloids. theyre in a liquid ready for your system to absorb

from dry shroomies to this in about 3 hours

 

you can store the crystals in a mason jar in the freezer,ive had some forgotten for over a month in the freezer and i didnt notice any potency loss or change in appearance

 

so to get ~eighth of shroom trippiness, one would have to eat ~.4g assuming minimal potency lost?

 

That is cool.

Did you evaporate the second pull separately? (I'm wondering if the second pull got much.)

I've heard of doing this with ethanol and not totally evaporating it. (a la RR from mycotopia.) I think the idea was that leaving a little alchohol in helped preserve it by keeping the air off it...but you wouldn't want to leave any iso obviously. I think it was also done partially for liquid measurment purposes.

It seems to contradict the idea that psilocibyn is very unstable and heat is very bad for it since most experiments I've heard heat it to evaporate the alcohol. But, I guess you could say the same about tea, and I know that works. It seems like based on these experiements, O2 is much worse for psilocibyn than some temporary heat. I think it's really more the air that makes them go bad, and heat just accelerates that.

I really want to try this some time soon.

 

it extracts everything imo... i can make 40 doses that are like 1g. with the extracts comming out of an ounce.

the body seems to absorb the concentrated psylocibin alot faster so it takes like 10-20 mins to start feeling after ingestion and the fact it reaches the brain faster allows for some kind of a blast if you want. so you end up taking like 0,25 and you trip like a 3.5

 

its different with isopropyl because you cant drink it. it must be fully evaporated to consume the stuff. with ethyl you can leave the crystals in the alcohol to protect them from air. and drink the alcohol n trip as well. isopropyl is just alott cheaper here.

and the second pulls usualy pull out a third of the first. and its less potent too.

and yes. i evaporate my alcohol on low heat stove. takes a few minutes. if i dont do that. everything is exposed to air for hours. i never let the alcohol boil and its fine. and yeah heat doesnt seem to harm the alkaloids very much.. and once the crystals are in the freezer. they can sit there a while

 

wow interesting. Almost looks like DMT, I wonder if it could be vaped/smoked as such.

I did a personal experiment some months ago with injecting 4-aco-dmt, a molecule very similar to psilocybin/psilocin into non psychedelic mushrooms to test the onset time and found my psilacetin (4-aco-dmt) mushrooms had a delayed onset, its reaffirming to know that you are finding the converse when removing the alkaloids from the Psilocybin mushrooms.

 

Pure psylocibin can be vaped but not smoked. but thats all the info i have.
these crystals are great looking but still not pure enough to be vaped.
say in pcubes there is about 1% content of psylocibin/psylocin well these crystals have about 10%,I've read alot about 4-aco but never tried it.
iv'e never had dmt either.

and basicaly i wanted to breaktrough but could never hold enough shrooms without being sick.

i did 2.5 of these crystals. experienced everything that's possible and impossible to experience. In a few hours that i thought were 16 billion years... and you dont remember anything... just a blank space.. over the course of a week after that trip i would have flashes and remember some stuff that happend but for the main part.. i remember the rush comming up my spine visuals becoming full blown 3d with open eyes. then black out.

 

i want to know if any one has tried this before i grind up an oz of shrooms and soak them in rubbing alcohol. Is there any reason why you used 70% and not 90%?

 

The information is very interesting. I just saw it the first time. Thanks for sharing this.

 

There are some similar threads in the archives on mycotopia. I think with 90+% ethanol.
I'd guess the 70% is just because of availability and price, and that 90% would be better.

 

hey shroomanism, i don't understand you weights and math...

if an ounce of shrooms gives you ~3 grams of extract, how do you get 40 doses that are like 1 gram?

i guess you are saying that basically 0.1 gram of the extract is like 1 gram of shrooms, but since it hits you faster, 0.75 g hits you like 1 g? (For example)

and damn! 2.5 g of the extract is from the weight of 23.3 grams. and if you say it feels even stronger....wow

 

thats what i meant. technicaly. 0.1 <<should>> hit like a gram. but 0.075 does since the psylocibin hits the brain all at once and isnt digested for hours yes.

 

exatly. dry methanol is said to be the best for this extraction.
but here with price and availability 1,99$ for a liter of 70% iso.
and you can buy it everywhere.

 

yeah. rubbing alcohol is isopropyl alcohol and 70% because its cheap and anyone can buy it anywhere,,, cant find the 90%+ over here

 

all the teks i read call for ethanol alcohol (190 proof ever clear)

 

then use ethanol if you're more comfortable with that.
they behave very similarly, chemically.


don't fucking blow yourself up heating it though. i do not advise heating ethanol, or any type of alcohol really.

 

im not going to do it just because i dont have an abundance of mushrooms i could use as a trial run. i am how ever very intrigued by it and hope to try it at some point in my life

 

Cool man, any noticeable differences in the trips?

 

What up this is a sweet tek. I'm also with the person who said not to heat the alcohol. It should evaporate in a couple days. Also you can get 99% iso at pharmacies that are at hospitals. I've seen this tek with everclear too.
