Investigators from a prominent university have established a connection between the edible fungus Lanmaoa asiatica and peculiar hallucinations of diminutive human-like figures reported in regions of Yunnan, China, and the northern Philippines. Witnesses describe encountering figures that range from 3 to 30 centimeters in height, interacting seamlessly with their environment. Genetic analysis has verified that the mushrooms ingested in both locales belong to the same species. The absence of psilocybin or any other recognized hallucinogenic compounds prompts the hypothesis of an unknown psychoactive substance at play. Researchers are now delving into the mushroom’s chemical properties and evolutionary background to uncover insights into the brain's visual perception processes.

00:00A strange mushroom in China may make people see tiny humans.
00:03The mushroom is called Lanmaoa Asiatica, found in Yunnan.
00:08When undercooked, it has been linked to bizarre hallucinations.
00:12People report seeing dozens, or even hundreds of tiny figures.
00:16Some appear only a few inches tall, walking around real objects.
00:20Researchers at the University of Utah investigated the mystery.
00:24DNA testing linked mushrooms from China and the Philippines.
00:27But scientists found no psilocybin or known mushroom hallucinogens.
00:32That suggests the fungus may contain an unknown psychoactive compound.
00:37Researchers are now searching for the chemical behind the visions.
00:41The discovery could offer new clues about how the brain creates perception.
