- Lanmaoa asiatica mushroom causes hallucinations of tiny elf-like figures, known as lilliputian hallucinations.
- The mushroom is native to Yunnan, China, and also found in the Philippines, with effects appearing 12-24 hours after consumption and lasting a long time.
- Its active compound is not psilocybin, and it is not used recreationally due to prolonged hallucinatory effects.
- Colin Domnauer's research confirmed the mushroom's identity and widespread presence, highlighting its unusual cross-cultural consistency in hallucinations.
- Understanding this mushroom could provide insights into brain disorders and new fungal chemicals for research.
