The psilocybin in psilocybin or magic mushrooms is a Schedule 1 drug in the U.S., while the muscimol and ibotenic acid in Amanita muscaria are generally unregulated.

CBD (cannabidiol) is the non-psychoactive component found in both cannabis and hemp plants. CBD can be in the form of  distillate, isolate and crude oil. CBD is then formulated into a wide range of finished consumer products such as tinctures, salves, topicals, vapes, gel caps, water, beauty products and even smokable hemp. CBD products must contain less than 0.3% THC by weight in order to be considered legal or compliant. This is where the potency or label test becomes the most important.

If you’d like to obtain cannabis analysis testing before the state performs compliance tests, we encourage clients to use our a la cart R&D testing services.

The Amanita muscaria does not contain psilocybin or psilocin. Rather, the active chemicals this mushroom contains are muscimol, ibotenic acid, and muscarine.

“Fly agaric” is a nick name for the Amanita muscaria mushroom because it attracts and kills flies.

Muscimol is a potent and selective orthosteric agonist for the GABA receptors. While it displays sedative-hypnotic, depressant, and hallucinogenic psychoactivity, it is not considered psychedelic. It is considered a deliriant.
