Oh I've seen the documentary about this!

I wonder if these are the same as the DMT elves
Is this like the show common side effects.
What if those little people are real and the mushroom just allows us to see them?
"At a mushroom hot pot restaurant there, the server set a timer for 15 minutes and warned us, 'Don't eat it until the timer goes off or you might see little people,'" says Colin Domnauer, a doctoral candidate in biology at the University of Utah and the Natural History Museum of Utah, who is studying L. asiatica.
I'm not sure if I would take them seriously.
As seen in the show Common Side Effects
The characters look like they are regular at Little Bits from R&M. Is C.S.E. good?
There has to be something similar in nordics. Old pagan beliefs are jam packed with little people.
I mean, there are a number of cases in mythologies where you can find common elements. I'd buy that in some cases, there might be common elements causing it, but I don't think that it'd need to be a common hallucinogen.
Off-the-cuff, some examples:
-
"Hybrid" animals that are a conglomeration of different animals.
Also, the Smurfs
I thought those looked like boletes. Which I've heard can be hallucinogenic, but those also had analysis showing it's just a small amount of regular psilocybin. This is neither psilocybin nor muscimol, pretty interesting. I'd eat them raw.
Wikipedia:
Chemical and genomic analyses have shown that the Lanmaoa asiatica does not contain any known psychoactive compounds such as psilocybin or muscimol. It is likely that there remains an unknown hallucinogenic compound yet to be discovered in this species.[3][6] Chemical analysis of Lanmaoa asiatica has identified numerous compounds and their pharmacological activity has been studied, but as yet none of them have been linked to the reported psychoactive effects.[7][8][9][10]
I had the exact same thought when I read this haha! But when I went looking for which bolete variety had psilocybin I couldn't find it
Interesting. I thought it was a bolete too. There is one other hallucinogenic bolete, the blue meanie, in central europe and I don't know where else. It is a giant one too I believe. Psilocybin I believe.
Oh lol yeah, I've had a couple chinese friends from over there tell me we should hang out and try as much, I guess mushrooms don't count as drugs in Yunnan.
I should be able to try some over the summer.
In research he is preparing for publication, chemical extracts from lab specimens produced behavioural changes in mice similar to those reported in human.
So did these mice see little mice as well?
It’s Common Side Effects IRL


Bitch status
I see human faces and figures whenever hallucinating mildly, even from exhaustion. That's the simplest thing to interpret for our social brains probably.
Yeah, of course the little people you see because of the mushrooms are "hallucinations". Nice try to cover up for pixie rings here. Obviously the fae have infiltrated institutions.
You think Doom is great because it can run on refrigerator? Populous can run on a mushroom.
