Abstract
A new method has been developed for the rapid analysis of psilocybin and/or psilocin in fungus material using ion mobility spectrometry. Quantitative analysis was performed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry after a simp le one-step extraction involving homogenization of the dried fruit bodies o f fungi in chloroform and derivatization with MSTFA. The proposed methods r esulted in rapid procedures useful in analyzing psychotropic fungi for psil ocybin and psilocin. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights rese rved.
