Mushroom in Yunnan province causes identical hallucinations of tiny elflike people

A mushroom in China's Yunnan province causes identical hallucinations of tiny elflike people in those who consume it. Biologist Colin Domnauer is investigating Lanmaoa asiatica, a mushroom known to cause "lilliputian hallucinations." Locals cook it thoroughly to avoid its hallucinogenic properties. The mushroom's active compound is not psilocybin, and the consistent nature of the hallucinations across different people and cultures remains a scientific mystery.
