title: Comparative study of ATR and transflection IR spectroscopic techniques for the analysis of hallucinogenic mushrooms.
abstract: This paper compares the use of ATR and transflection spectroscopic techniques for the qualitative analysis of psilocin extracted from hallucinogenic mushrooms and control spiked mushrooms. Both techniques gave comparable results and agreed with prior GC/MS analysis of the actual case samples.
