Norbaeocystin is a minor naturally occurring tryptamine found in Psilocybe and related mushrooms, structurally the fully N-demethylated analogue of psilocybin (it lacks both N-methyl groups). It is biosynthetically related to psilocybin and baeocystin, but its own pharmacology and contribution to the mushroom experience are not well characterized. It is a Schedule I substance in the United States.
