GLC--mass spectral analysis of fungal metabolites.

Four metabolites, hispidin, bisnoryangonin, muscimole, and ibotenic acid, from potentially psychoactive mushrooms were analyzed by GLC--mass spectrometry as their trimethylsilyl derivatives. This method was applied to the first two compounds in Gymnopilus punctifolius (Peck) Singer and to the last two compounds in Amania pantherina (Fr.) Secr.

GLC-mass spectral analysis of psilocin and psilocybin.

With the combined technique of GLC-mass spectrometry, psilocin and psilocybin, two hallucinogenic indoles, were analyzed as their trimethylsilyl derivatives. The method was applied to these two components in an extract of Psilocybe cubensis (Earle) Sing.
