Magic mushrooms are one thing, but there are actually a different kind of mushrooms that exclusively make people hallucinate tiny people running around everywhere. Theyre commonly eaten in Asia as a food, but if undercooked they make you see little people

There are a couple species around the world that have the same effect, so scientists are working to find the gene or other root cause that triggers us to hallucinate lilliputians

OMG I thought you were shitting us but it may be true: https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20260121-the-mysterious-mushroom-that-makes-you-see-tiny-people

Now I have to find a way to cultivate these.

If you figure out a way to cultivate them, I'd be interested to know.

It has me wondering what the little people look like. Are they based on the most prevalent ethnicity in your region? How are they dressed? Are they dressed???

Do they just wander or do they try to do tasks for some sort?

I knew that our friends from shroomery already made that question on trying to cultivate them: https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/29426565

A tl;dr is that it is almost impossible at home and seems that no one ventured there yet. You'll have to make an expedition to the far east to find the answer for your questions yourself. Good luck!

Lies, those mushrooms tear away the Veil cast on humanity and let us see the Fae among us.

Are the tiny hallucinations different sizes based on the height of the person that consumed the mushroom? Or does everyone see the same size hallucinations?

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Can the tiny people see me too?

(Jokes aside, is this image AI generated? It's hard to tell but it seems like it might be so I don't want to reshare it...)

[-] stabby_cicada@slrpnk.net 8 points 3 weeks ago

I don't know. I stole it from Tumblr. Share at your own risk.

Looks like an old-timey, not very good illustration. Top left: Parasol, Macrolepiota procera. Top right looks like some kind of bolete. Center are two kinds of Amanita. Middle right looks suspiciously like psylocibe

In the lower right quadrant over the bottom-most yellow mushrooms there seems to be a brown mushroom cap... growing out of another mushroom cap? Or hovering above a disconnected stem? Can a cap sort of grow from another cap? (Genuine question, I know nothing about mushrooms). My friend group would really love this one since they do all kinds of foraging and stuff but I'm not going to subject them to an AI image if I can help it, you know how it is

[-] crashex@crazypeople.online 1 points 2 weeks ago

I think it's just badly drawn perspective. But a mushroom can sometimes grow out of another mushroom's head, I've seen it.

If cooked right, they all make you see God.

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Take them all together

[-] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 1 points 2 weeks ago

Which one makes you see God forever again?
