how much ethanol should SWIM use to extract 50g of cyanescens?

sorry I didn't get to this sooner.
ooo...cyanescens are a different beast. they require a slightly different treatment than cubensis, because they have a higher psilocin conc. make sure the material is COMPLETELY dry, and ground into powder. psilocin dwells deep in the cell tissue.
swim would try a mix of methanol and ethanol (in the form of everclear), in about a 80/20 ratio. 80% methanol, 20% ethanol. so...about 160mL methanol, and 40mL methanol...200mL total sol'n. gentle heat, about 40-45C for about 4-6 hours.
with this ratio, you should be able to get both psilocin and psilocybin. then do an a/b extraction as you would with cubensis, similar to the method listed in your other thread. this will convert any psilocybin to psilocin.
