Psilocybin-producing fungi have garnered attention due to accumulating evidence regarding the therapeutic potential of their principal component psilocybin. This diverse group of fungi harbors a wealth of less-studied metabolites, however, thus far most research has addressed them as a cohesive group. By optimizing an approach for extraction and analysis, we examined the metabolomes of 42...
