The lab's initial procedure caused the phosphoryl group on the psilocybin to break off prior to reaching the Mass Spectrometer. We are developing our methods for analyzing mushrooms and psilocybin-containing products.
After additional work, the lab was able to use a published method to confirm that the original substance in the sample was psilocybin, with only tiny amounts or no psilocin present.
Our current method does not allow us to say with certainty that traces of psilocin are not analytical artifacts. It is possible some psilocin was present in the sample prior to analysis.
Ergosterol is a substance that is present in the cell membranes of fungi.
