Labs Creating Transparency by Expanding Their Testing

ACS Laboratory Advances Amanita Mushroom Testing for Safety and Quality


ACS Laboratory, a prominent hemp and cannabis testing facility in the Eastern U.S., has launched an extensive Amanita mushroom testing program. This initiative caters to the growing Amanita industry by offering accurate and dependable results for potency, purity, and compliance. The cutting-edge program empowers innovative brands to deliver top-tier products that meet safety and legal standards.


As the popularity of Amanita mushrooms rises due to their distinctive psychoactive effects and unregulated composition, ACS Laboratory recognizes the importance of accurately quantifying their potency, purity, and ensuring the absence of psilocybin, psilocin, and contaminants. The facility's testing capabilities encompass Amanita muscaria and Amanita pantherina species, providing clients with Certificates of Analysis (COAs) containing documented outcomes.


In 2023, ACS Laboratory extended its testing domain from cannabis and hemp to mushrooms and Kratom. Operating under a DEA license enables the laboratory to assess psilocybin-containing mushrooms and Amanita products for adherence to regulations. This compliance, particularly in confirming the absence of potentially illicit compounds like Psilocybin and Psilocin, is a critical facet of their work.


The laboratory examines Amanita mushrooms in various forms, including dried mushrooms, powders, chocolates, tinctures, gummies, and capsules. The team actively conducts research to deepen their understanding of Amanita's active components and potential medicinal applications. With a resolute commitment to precision and dependability, ACS Laboratory emerges as a trustworthy partner for brands dedicated to producing exceptional products.


Roger Brown, President at ACS Laboratory, emphasizes their dedication to delivering precise results in the Amanita mushroom sector. Their state-of-the-art facility and advanced methodologies enable the provision of accurate and clinical-grade outcomes, reinforcing their commitment to excellence and accountability.


To enhance transparency and accessibility, ACS Laboratory issues a Certificate of Analysis (COA) for each sample, accessible through a public portal. They also implement QR codes linked to COAs for product packaging and leverage blockchain technology for secure tracking and prevention of tampering. These measures build consumer confidence and deter fraud.
