Conversion up to 90% or 60% question
Posted: Wed Aug 12, 2020 2:49 pm
Hey lovely people!
I've been wondering if using three up-to-30%-conversion steps would be the best. 1) Drying the mushrooms up using correct temperature (68-70C for me) in a similar to Excalibur dehydrator, 2) Simmering the mushrooms for 20 min or so, 3) lemon tek.
This method is said to convert up to 90% of ibotenic acid to muscimol. Is this 90/10 ibo/muscimol ratio the best? I know that ibotenic acid is desirable in small amounts. Would that sweet spot be 10% (as in 90/10 ratio) or 40$ (as in 60/40) ratio, skipping one step of conversion.
Additionally, how long would I dry my Amanitas in 70C for? I've heard 24h on one of Amanita Dreamer's videos, but many friends of mine did it only 6-8 hours and was just fine. In other words, does the conversion of Ibotenic acid to muscimol finish when the mushroom is cracker dry or even if it's dry, additional time can convert more?
Cheers!
