(Morbid_o: "Psilocybin decomposition", General Discourse)Doesn't alot of the psilocybin get converted by the drying process to psilocin.
Nope
All the psilocin will oxidise over day's and all the psilocybin will oxidise over some month's

Not quite... according to Journal of Cromatography, 244 (1982), 357-364, the psilocybin content of stored samples of P. Semilanceata decreased with increasing age of the mushroom. For example, the paper lists two 29-year-old specimens with 0.38% and 0.10% of psilocybin w/w and a 30-year-old with 0.05%.
