For nearly a century, people in distant parts of the world have reported a bizarre experience after eating certain wild mushrooms: seeing dozens or even hundreds of tiny, colorful humans moving through the real world. Now, scientists have identified a mushroom species, Lanmaoa asiatica, responsible for these extraordinary hallucinations in China and the Philippines.
I could have sworn I read something similar a few weeks ago …
I have so many questions, the article focuses on the mushroom builogy and moves past the hallucinations pretty quick. What are these tiny people doing, do they see you, are they people or something else, do you get egfects as other hallucinations or just the tiny people? The effects of LSD and mushrooms are similar enough you recognize the sensation, is this something wholly different? I need answers!
Also, if two people in the same room eat the undercooked mushrooms do they see the same population of little people or different populations of little people. If it’s a shared experience this raises some serious existential questions, otherwise I’d chalk it up to brains are crazy.
It’s BS. There are no trip reports. I know the connesuierr drug community would buy this just to attempt seeing the little people. Can’t find a single person who says “I did this and it was….”
Right? It says it’s a common food that has a warning to cook it for a specific amount of time to avoid the hallucinations. It must be a horrible experience where you get crazy sick and hallucinate, otherwise lots of people would be doing if recreationally.
Apparently the hallucinations appear whether your eyes are open or closed and last for up to a week, sometimes more depending on dosage. And those are from people who ate some that were undercooked, so presumably most of the psychoactive material had been neutralized.
The animated TV show Common Side Effects has a similar underlying plot with people who take a specific shroom. They haven’t exposed what they do, but everyone who takes it sees them.
I’ll stop short of saying that everyone who describes DMT that way is a fool (drugs can affect people differently, and I’ve never taken it orally so maybe I’m missing something), but the “machine elf” stuff is just nonsense. It’s just your brain making insane fractal patterns that fold in on themselves and shit. It’s pretty cool, but there are no “entities” waiting for you.

It doesn’t sound like a pleasant experience.
I mean, that never stopped the good folx on https://www.erowid.org/
Yeah it really seems unlikely that a chemical agent could make different people hallucinate the same thing. This really sounds like stealth marketing.
I want it so hard to be that everyone is seeing the same thing and those little fools are really there!!!

Season 2 in late January
I’ve heard DMT described as seeing little cities or a village of workers working away.
I wonder if it’s similar.

Yeah that’s pretty much what I assumed too.
buy a shroom, report back with results
That’s the true scientific spirit!
I’ve got my best men on it!
