In 1934, Western scientists first heard reports from Papua New Guinea of people hallucinating tiny humans after eating wild mushrooms, a the phenomenon they dubbed “mushroom madness.” The species wasn’t clear, but mycologists suggested that it might be L. asiatica, then a newly described mushroom. Known as the “Nonda” in Papua New Guinea and “Jian shou qing” in Yunnan, it’s a culturally important edible mushroom that, if undercooked, produced the hallucinations. That was the third independent case linking wild mushroom to visions of little people. Now, three completely independent cultures have reported the same specific type of hallucination, and two cases are attributed to the same DNA-verified mushroom species.
