Surprising Variability in Tryptamine Profiles of Psilocybe cubensis Fruiting Bodies: Inter- and Intra-Strain Differences Across 14 Strains Cultivated Under Controlled Conditions
Journal of Fungi July 2, 2026 Amiel Sharchaton, Shilat Parsha, Sara P. Azerrad et al.
Psilocybin-producing mushrooms exhibit considerable biochemical diversity, yet the extent of variability among strains within a single species under standardized conditions remains insufficiently characterized. In this study, we quantified psilocybin, psilocin, baeocystin, norbaeocystin, aeruginascin, and norpsilocin in the fruiting bodies of 14 distinct strains of Psilocybe cubensis. The...
