If you consumed a wild mushroom and suddenly started seeing tiny people around you, you might reasonably assume it contained a familiar psychedelic.

But that does not appear to be the case with Lanmaoa asiatica, known locally as jian shou qing, a mushroom species sold in markets in Yunnan, southwestern China.

When eaten undercooked, the mushroom can produce vivid visions of miniature people – not unlike Gulliver on his travels to Lilliput.

Yunnan hospitals get dozens of these cases each year.

To try and find out the root cause, University of Utah mycologists Colin Domnauer and Bryn Dentinger sequenced the genomes of 53 mushroom samples from across the wider Lanmaoa genus.

Kinda wanna try these.

It's weird how the chemical, active ingredient or whatever hasn't been isolated yet.

It's also weird how it makes whoever ingests them see the same thing

Maybe that inspired the show Common Side Effects.

Just like DMT seems to introduce many people to robot elves

And salvia... Well, salvia just does what shit she wants and fucks you up
But the pattern at least seems to be kinda the same every time - like carousel stuff and such

LEMME TRY
