I wonder if these were an inspiration for the show Common Side Effects. Among other things, the mushrooms in the show result in everyone seeing tiny little people.
They actually mention the show by name in the article
What is it? I'm not clicking on clickbait.
I didnt think that Vice was clickbait.
Nevertheless, article is about a mushroom found in Yunnan, China that causes hallucinations that last a long time and apparently always results in folks tripping out and seeing little tiny folks cruising around the place. Not the same chemical/reaction as in magic mushrooms. Sounds pretty wild.
Reminds me of machine elves in DMT
It's just vice, you're good.
No bro didn’t you read? It’s clickbait you can’t click that if you do you get aids

Im curious, they phrase it as though the hallucinations are always an unwanted side effect, but I wonder if that is the case? It makes me wonder whether it is a particularly unpleasant hallucination, i cant imagine that simply seeing little people would be described as "poisoning" or "toxic"
Depends on who is writing the article. If you ask medical professionals, hallucinations are an unwanted side effect of ketamine which is an otherwise safe and effective anesthetic. And yet many people seem to love them
An artist needs to take these and draw what they are seeing.
Sounds more like taxoplasmosis than psilocybin - that specific a thing sounds like a hard coded parasite.
