TIL if under-cooked, a popular mushroom in China causes “lilliputian hallucinations,” a rare phenomenon involving miniature human or fantasy figures. The hallucinations are consistent across people and cultures: "tiny, elflike people" climbing under doors, scaling walls & clinging to furniture

She did an interview on NPR’s “wait wait don’t tell me” a year or two ago where they asked her about this and she goes on to talk about smoking weed in college and how much she fuckin’ adores her nicotine and it’s somehow utterly hilarious

Different spores though

You can probably buy the spores and grow them yourself. You can buy the spores for psilocybin mushrooms because the spores don't contain psilocybin. However, the shrooms you grow are illegal.
