Summary
AI-generated from the abstractA method for rapidly measuring the amounts of psilocybin and psilocin in wild mushroom extracts uses reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with paired-ion reagents. Nine solvent systems and three solid supports were tested for how well they separate psilocybin, psilocin, and other components of crude mushroom extracts using thin-layer chromatography.

Abstract
Rapid quantification of psilocybin and psilocin in extracts of wild mushrooms is accomplished by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with paired-ion reagents. Nine solvent systems and three solid supports are evaluated for their efficiency in separating psilocybin, psilocin and other components of crude mushroom extracts by thin-layer chromatography.
