Summary: the mushroom Lanmaoa asiatica makes careless eaters see little people using toxins which other shrooms haven't discovered.

"Biosynthetic gene mining of the L. asiatica genome found no close hits with any genes known in the production of mushroom psychoactive compounds," write the researchers in their published paper.

"This supports our hypothesis of the presence of a novel unidentified metabolite responsible for the unique hallucinogenic properties of L. asiatica."

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

    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

    I wonder if it's like machine elves on DMT. I wouldn't know since I have total Aphantasia. Black void even on DMT, but then I wondered if people are preconditioned to see them because they hear other people speak of them beforehand. Similar question regarding Lanmaoa asiatica and Near Death Experiences.

    Maybe that inspired the show Common Side Effects.
