TI  - Morphological and chemical analysis of magic mushrooms in Japan.
PG  - 85-90
AB  - Morphological and toxicological analyses were performed on hallucinogenic 
      mushrooms that are currently circulated in Japan. Scanning electron microscope 
      (SEM) indicated a three-dimensional microstructures in the mushrooms. The 
      complementary use of SEM with an optical microscope was effective for observing 
      characteristic tissues, such as basidiomycetes, spores, cystidia and basidia. 
      Hallucinogenic alkaloids were extracted with methanol and determined by high 
      performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with a UV detector set at 220 nm. The 
      psilocin/psilocybin contents in Psilocybe cubensis were in the range of 
      0.14-0.42%/0.37-1.30% in the whole mushroom (0.17-0.78%/0.44-1.35% in the cap and 
      0.09-0.30%/0.05-1.27% in the stem), respectively. The hallucinogenic alkaloids in 
      Copelandia were 0.43-0.76%/0.08-0.22% in the whole mushroom 
      (0.64-0.74%/0.02-0.22% in the cap and 0.31-0.78%/0.01-0.39% in the stem). It thus 
      appears that P. cubensis is psilocybin-rich, whereas Copelandia is psilocin-rich.
