Abstract

CommentReports on the presence of psilocybin and psilocin in Panaeolus foenesecii are confused, since both have been detected in some samples of this mushroom but not in all.It is usually considered a "latent psilocybin" mushroom, because psilocybin and psilocin may not necessarily be present in a particular specimen.
