French researchers obtained crystalline psilocybin and very small amounts of psilocin from both the spores and sclerotia of Psilocybe mexicana.
From the abstract: “From both sporophores and sclerotia of P. mexicana, the former cultured on natural media, the latter in vitro on artificial media, the authors obtained a crystalline material ‘psilocybin’, which had a strongly psychotropic effect on man, and also ‘psilocin’, in very small quantities.”
