Picture this: You're enjoying a delicious bowl of mushroom soup, when suddenly you notice hundreds of tiny people dressed in cartoonish clothing marching across your tablecloth, jumping into your bowl, swimming around, and clinging to your spoon as you lift it for another taste. You're not dreaming — you've just experienced the effects of a mushroom known scientifically as Lanmaoa asiatica. It belongs to an entirely different class of Fungi than the more commonly known “magic mushrooms” and remains far more mysterious.

The mushroom allows one to tap into the other dimension of little people. They are real and happy to see us.

Sounds similar to the “clockwork elves” reported by DMT users.

First time I have heard of it, The genus Lanmaoa is relatively new. It is also a bolete, a tube bearing mushroom. The common button mushroom has gills. One of the cardinal rules in mycophagy is never eat a blue-staining bolete.

When the men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know

Consuming anything that places you in an altered state on a regular basis is not good for you in the long run.

But it is your brain. Scramble it if you want to.

This explains those 1950s sci-fI Japanese movies.

I would never take any of this stuff, or any illegal drugs.

Hell, I’ve seen stuff like like that on acid.

Decades ago, of course.

Not new. Mushrooms with this effect have been known for a while in Asia. But maybe new to Americans. And it’s probably a good thing they didn’t tell Westerners about them. We’d all been long dead if they head due to mass suicides and murders from psychosis resulting.

These shrums do serious damage. Irreversible and eventually demonic in results. Kept the Japanese war machine pumped up to merciless levels.
