Abstract

A psilocybin concentration of 17.9±1.7 mg/g was found in the mushroom species Psilocybe zapotecorum.

  • The mushroom exhibits a range of psilocybin concentrations from 10.6 to 25.7 mg/g based on a sample size of 7.
  • Chemical analysis revealed a combined tryptamine concentration of 22.5±3.2 mg/g, including various tryptamines at lower levels.
  • Full genome sequencing identified the psilocybin gene cluster and provides a reference genome for Psilocybe Clade I.
  • Mushroom morphology and cultivation parameters were characterized, contributing to a better understanding of this species.
