Baeocystin is a psilocybin mushroom alkaloid and analog of psilocybin. It is found as a minor compound in most psilocybin mushrooms together with psilocybin norbaeocystin and psilocin. Baeocystin is a N-demethylated derivative of psilocybin and a phosphorylated derivative of 4-HO-NMT (4-hydroxy-N-methyltryptamine).Baeocystin was first isolated from the mushroom Psilocybe baeocystis and later from P. semilanceata Panaeolus renenosus Panaeolus subbalteatus and Copelandia chlorocystis.
