Towards a molecular approach for the identification of fungal taxa that contain psilocybin
OpenGrey 2001 Lee Jc 2 citations
The classical taxonomic methodologies for determining taxa of mushrooms are based primarily on morphological traits. If the mushroom specimens are dried or pulverized, the morphological characteristics are frequently disguised or no longer apparent. Included among these fungi are known to produce psilocybin, which are hard to identify by their macroscopic features. Molecular techniques could...
