Chemistry:Gyrocyanin
From HandWiki
Gyrocyanin is a 2,5-diarylcyclopentane-1,3-dione natural product found in the sporophores (fruiting bodies) of several species of bolete fungus in the family Gyroporaceae, including Gyroporus cyanescens.[1]
It is likely that the blue staining of psychoactive bolete Lanmaoa asiatica is due to gyrocyanin or a related compound, since this species is not known to produce the psilocybin or psilocin that leads to blue staining of Psilocybe cubensis and related psychoactive fungi.
