Gymnopilus Mushrooms

I haven't heard much discussion, but I just came across this information about the different Gymnopilus mushrooms. Considering this, I am leaning even further to the notion that it is yangonin that tends to be more of the heady aspect to Kava.

https://www.researchgate.net/public..._of_bis-noryangonin_from_Gymnopilus_decurrens
https://www.revolvy.com/main/index.php?s=Gymnopilus&uid=1575
Any of you all know more? Other searches were more in line of how to get high off these. Considering that isn't my goal, I just linked the informational ones in the above three.

Oh and please I don't want to see half the forum folks die cause they went out eating random mushrooms, I just want to know if you all know more about this subject.

I hear ya. There were some super nice looking mushrooms growing in the Hydrangea pots a few weeks ago but my wife started the lecture on poisonous mushrooms and running with scissors. There has got to be a way to test them for toxicity.

That is interesting... yet another independently evolved KL analog..

According to those references, that mushroom does not contain yangonin, it contains bis-noryangonin. Bis-noryangonin is like yangonin with yangonin's two methoxys replaced with hydroxy groups. The fact that the methoxy in the 4 position is substituted means that bis-noryangonin is not a true kavalactone, because that is an essential group that all other naturally occurring KLs have. So it is a kavalactone analog. It does resemble yangonin more than any other KL, but I'm still not really sure what the effects of yangonin are, so it is hard to guess what the effects of this analog would be.

For what it's worth I'm a yangonin-cannabinoid skeptic, and this stuff isn't yangonin anyway...if those are the lines you were thinking along...

Yea I did see the Analog info. A number of sites are comparing it to Kava. I don’t (will not) do anything that would be psychoactive too many folks in my fam have end up in bad places; so, I cant compare Kava to anything else.

Yeah, definitely be careful with mushrooms. Go with an experienced mushroom picker, and learn to identify toxic lookalikes. If you're not sure, DON'T EAT IT.
