Analysis of hallucinogenic constituents in Amanita mushrooms circulated in Japan

The constituents of seven mushrooms sold as Amanita muscaria or Amanita pantherina (five A. muscaria and two A. pantherina) and four “extracts purported to contain A. muscaria” products that are currently circulated in Japan were determined. All mushroom samples were identified as A. muscaria or A....

Description
Summary:The constituents of seven mushrooms sold as Amanita muscaria or Amanita pantherina (five A. muscaria and two A. pantherina) and four “extracts purported to contain A. muscaria” products that are currently circulated in Japan were determined. All mushroom samples were identified as A. muscaria or A. pantherina by macroscopic and microscopic observation. The dissociative constituents, ibotenic acid (IBO) and muscimol (MUS), were extracted with 70% methanol twice and determined by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. The IBO (as the hydrate)/MUS contents were in the range of
