A validated testing method now accurately measures how much psilocybin and psilocin are in psychedelic mushrooms. Using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), it detects potency variations due to species, drying, and storage, which is key for ensuring safe, consistent dosing in both research and personal use.
