psilocybin
This term refers specifically to the chemical compound itself rather than the mushrooms that contain it. While often used interchangeably with "magic mushrooms" in casual conversation, in scientific or medical contexts, it denotes the precise alkaloid responsible for the psychedelic effects.
As a chemical substance, it is treated as an uncountable mass noun. It does not have a plural form in standard usage; one would refer to "amounts of psilocybin" or "psilocybin dosages" rather than "psilocybins" when discussing the compound.
