Aeruginascin

Aeruginascin or "N,N,N"-trimethyl-4-phosphoryloxytryptamine is an indoleamine derivative which occurs naturally within the mushroom "Inocybe aeruginascens" and "Pholiotina cyanopus". Aeruginascin is the "N"-trimethyl analogue of psilocybin. It is closely related to the frog skin toxin bufotenidine (5-HTQ), a potent 5-HT3 receptor agonist. The only scientific literature about the pharmacological effects of aeruginascin is from a study published by Gartz in 1989. Across 23 analyzed cases of accidental hallucinogenic mushroom poisonings, people who had ingested the mushroom "Inocybe aeruginascens" reported only euphoric experiences. This is in contrast to the slight and in some cases extremely dysphoric experiences reported from the accidental ingestion of non aeruginascin containing mushrooms(containing solely psilocybin and psilocin).
