bis noryangonin in gymnopilus species

Some gymnopilus mushrooms (and Polyporus hispidus, sadly not edible) apparantly contain bis-noryangonin which is structurally related to well, yangonin.

https://books.google.de/books?id=jU...IIjAB#v=onepage&q=Gymnopilus yangonin&f=false

states, that it is not know if bis-noryangonin is psychoactive but speculates that it isn't because it can be found in edible species. A weak argument since you don't know if your mushroom omlette would ever contain enough bis-noryangonin to get you crunked. Also, preparation could play a role. Fly agaric is edible too if you get rid of the psychoactive skin.

Does anyone have more information?

I've tried a tea from laughing gyms before, they aren't like the typical psychedelic mushroom although they supposedly contain psilocybin. It tastes awful! It left me laughing and feeling very stoned for around 5 hours, I can definitely see the similarity between kava.
