There are several types of test, but by far the most common is EMIT, followed by GCMS. Both are usually performed on a urine sample. The EMIT test is inexpensive, around $40 each. The GCMS (gas chromatography/mass spectrometry) test is more like $400 each. The GCMS test is 100% accurate. The EMIT test is only 60-70% accurate. The usual procedure is for everyone to get an EMIT test, and those that fail go on to get a GCMS. The EMIT test results are known almost instanly. Both tests can be performed on the same sample.
They have to be looking for a substance before you can get pulled for it. It is unlikely that anyone would consider Psilocybin/Psilocilin, and I can't find any data on them. However they are certain to metabolise faster than LSD, and that drops below the detection threshold for GCMS in 3-4 days.
The secret is not to get caught on the unreliable EMIT test, and then you wont get hit with the GCMS. There are several theories on how to cheat the emit test, but the simplest are always the best. Here are some tips:
1) Excercise increases your metabolic rate by up to 2000%. This means that exercising will help get rid of any substance sooner, but is is best to avoid any exercise for 48 hours before the test otherwise it might actually push the evidence into the test tube. Take care to time the exercise if possible.
2) Watering down your urine dilutes the result, but avoid diaretics since they will flush the drugs into the urine. Water is the best thing but you don't need to bloat out on it for days in advance... just drinking a litre or two of water 30 mins before the test should be sufficient.
3) Doing 2) will make your sample go clear, arousing suspicion. This is liekly to be followed by a PH test to determine how acid the urine is. To avoid arousing suspicion take a vit B complex along with the water, this will cause the sample to turn yellow.
So in general I wouldn't worry too much. My advice would be to take a couple of days off work at the end of a week, say Thurs and Fri. Ingest as early on Thurs as possible. Do vigourous exercise on Friday and Saturday. For the following week drink a lot of water at work, and pop a few vit B complex. After 7 days you will be in the clear and can go back to normal.
Hope this helps.
