You sure… because I’m pretty sure they show up as psilocybin on a drug test

Yes I am sure. I have NEVER seen it on a drug panel that was used by employer and NEVER seen it as an available test in ANY lab I have been in.

They CAN test it with liquid chromatography and a mass spec but only large reference labs and research labs usually have the equipment to do it and fewer are validated to run and report the results.

They test for Psilocin which is a metabolite of Psilocybin. Same way they test for THC-COOH and not Hydroxy-THC the actual substance in weed. Funny, your body turns "legal" THC and "illegal" THC both into THC-COOH. Psilocin is out of your system in hours, like 4-6 hours. Psilocybin MIGHT be detectable for 24 hours but I don't know of a lab testing for it. I checked my regular reference lab databases and can only find Psilocin tests, and its very few labs that do that.
