chemical structure of baeocystin

Baeocystin is a mushroom alkaloid and analog of the psychedelic hallucinogenic drug psilocybin, a tryptamine derivative. It is found as a minor compound in most psychoactive mushrooms together with psilocybin, norbaeocystin, and psilocin. Little information exists with regard to human pharmacology, but a dosage of 10mg is reported to produce entheogenic effect, which is to say, hallucinagenic effects that has been attributed sacred status by some religious groups.
