'They saw them on their dishes when eating': The mushroom making people hallucinate dozens of tiny humans

A mysterious mushroom, Lanmaoa asiatica, found in Yunnan, China, and the Philippines, is known to cause remarkably consistent "lilliputian hallucinations" (visions of tiny people) if not thoroughly cooked. Researcher Colin Domnauer is investigating this psychedelic fungi to identify the unknown compound responsible for these unusually long-lasting and specific trips, which are distinct from psilocybin. The study aims to uncover insights into consciousness and potentially develop treatments for naturally occurring lilliputian hallucinations.
