Magic Mushrooms (Psilocybe Mushrooms)
Introduction: Why Choose Magic Mushrooms at Psychedelics Lab?
Magic mushrooms, primarily from the Psilocybe genus, are natural fungal sources of powerful psychoactive compounds like psilocybin and psilocin. They have seen a resurgence in clinical and neuropharmacological research for their potential in treating various psychiatric disorders such as depression, PTSD, and addiction. Psychedelics Lab provides high-purity extracts and isolated active compounds from magic mushrooms, produced with stringent quality controls to ensure consistency and safety for research in the USA and Europe.
What Are Magic Mushrooms?
Magic mushrooms contain the primary psychoactive alkaloids psilocybin (4-phosphoryloxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine) and its active metabolite psilocin, which acts as a potent serotonin 5-HT2A receptor agonist, producing profound alterations in perception, mood, and cognition. Other minor alkaloids present include baeocystin, norbaeocystin, aeruginascin, and norpsilocin, which may contribute to the overall effects but are less well-characterized. Various Psilocybe species differ in alkaloid content; fruiting bodies generally have higher concentrations than mycelia. Recent metabolomic studies also highlight other fungal metabolites potentially influencing therapeutic effects.
