The Food Mushroom That Makes You See Little People | Colin Domnauer ~ ATTMind 208

Adventures Through The Mind

You can buy Lanmaoa asiatica at a food market in Yunnan. Cook it thoroughly and it's just a bolete.

Ethnobotanist Colin Domnauer (Dentinger Lab, Natural History Museum of Utah) is one of the few people actively trying to understand why. Colin and I get into what's actually documented about Lanmaoa asiatica — the three independent cultural accounts, the...
