Stability and Preparation of Psilocybin

Psilocybin and psilocin degrade with heat, so lower heat methods like tea or chocolate preserve potency more effectively. Capsules offer precise dosing but require careful drying and measuring. Fresh mushrooms spoil quickly, while properly stored dried mushrooms retain potency much longer. Good storage practices support safety and consistent effects.
