Researchers at the University of Utah sequenced genomes from 53 specimens of Lanmaoa mushrooms and found that Lanmaoa asiatica, a species that causes Lilliputian hallucinations in over 100 cases yearly in Yunnan, China, lacks any known hallucinogenic chemical compounds like psilocybin or ibotenic acid. The discovery suggests the mushroom produces psychoactive effects through an unknown biochemical pathway previously unknown to science.
