Sample Information
The psilocybe cubensis old dirty PE 1-P1 strain was tested to determine its potency and composition. The sample used for the test was a mushroom fruit body, specifically prepared for ingestion. The test was conducted by ACS Laboratory, with Rose Hill as the client. The sample was collected and analyzed between September 21 and September 26, 2023.
Weight and Moisture Content
The initial gross weight of the mushroom sample was recorded at 6.935 grams. After processing, the net weight was 5.135 grams. The moisture content of the sample was measured to ensure the accuracy of the potency results. The sample’s moisture level was found to be 6.5%, which is below the action level of 15%. This low moisture content indicates that the sample was adequately dried, which is crucial for accurate potency measurements.
Potency Analysis
The potency of the Psilocybe cubensis Old Dirty PE 1-P1 strain was measured by analyzing several key alkaloids present in the mushroom. The most notable alkaloids are psilocybin, psilocin, and other related compounds. The concentration of these compounds was calculated based on the dry weight of the sample.
- Psilocybin Content: The primary active compound, psilocybin, was found at a concentration of 8.118 mg/g, which equates to 0.812% of the dry weight.
- Psilocin Content: Psilocin, another active compound, was present at 0.13 mg/g, or 0.013% of the dry weight.
- Total Psilocybin + Psilocin: Combining the psilocybin and psilocin concentrations, the total content of these psychoactive compounds in the sample was 0.825% of the dry weight, amounting to 42.364 mg in the entire package.
Additional Alkaloids Detected
In addition to psilocybin and psilocin, the analysis also detected several other alkaloids, though at much lower concentrations:
- Baeocystin: 0.566 mg/g (0.0566%)
- Norbaeocystin: 0.0781 mg/g (0.00781%)
- Norpsilocin: 0.0103 mg/g (0.00103%)
- Aeruginascin: 0.0398 mg/g (0.00398%)
- 4-Hydroxy-TMT: 0.00439 mg/g (0.000439%)
Summary of Alkaloid Content
The total alkaloid content per package was calculated to be 0.895%, translating to 45.951 mg of alkaloids in the entire package. This total includes all the psychoactive compounds present in the sample, providing a comprehensive view of the mushroom’s potency.
Conclusion
The psilocybe cubensis Old Dirty PE 1-P1 strain has been found to contain a moderate level of psilocybin and psilocin, with additional alkaloids contributing to its overall potency. The results suggest that this strain can be effective, with a consistent concentration of psychoactive compounds. The low moisture content of the sample further ensures the accuracy and reliability of these results.
