Baeocystin is a zwitterionic alkaloid and an analog of psilocybin. It is a minor compound in most psilocybin mushrooms and psilocybin, norbaeocystin, aeruginascin, and psilocin. Baeocystin is an 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. It was first synthesized by Troxler et al. in 1959. Little information exists about human pharmacology, but in the book Magic Mushrooms Around the World, author Jochen Gartz reports being aware of a study in which "10 mg of baeocystin were found to be about as psychoactive as a similar amount of psilocybin. Gartz also reported in a research paper that a self-administered assay of 4 mg of baeocystin caused "a gentle hallucinogenic experience”. The species name, Psilocybe Baeocystis, originates from the Greek words for "little" (baeo) and "bladder" (kystis).
