⭐ Core Definition: Hallucinogenic bolete mushroom

Hallucinogenic bolete mushrooms, also known as psychoactive bolete mushrooms or as "xiao ren ren (小人人)" mushrooms, are bolete mushrooms that produce hallucinogenic effects and are a type of hallucinogenic mushroom. They have been reported in Papua New Guinea, China, and the Philippines.

The exact species of the mushrooms, their active constituents, and their mechanism of action have all yet to be fully clarified. However, among the most frequently implicated species is Lanmaoa asiatica, a species first described in 2015. Hallucinogenic bolete mushrooms are said to make people see the "xiao ren ren" or "little people" and hence to experience Lilliputian hallucinations. Lilliputian hallucinations are a unique type of hallucination and are not necessarily consistent with the hallucinogenic effects of other psychoactive mushrooms.

👉 Hallucinogenic bolete mushroom in the context of Hallucinogen

Hallucinogens, also known as psychedelics, entheogens, or historically as psychotomimetics, are a large and diverse class of psychoactive drugs that can produce altered states of consciousness characterized by major alterations in thought, mood, and perception as well as other changes. Hallucinogens are often categorized as either being psychedelics, dissociatives, or deliriants, but not all hallucinogens fall into these three classes.

Examples of hallucinogens include psychedelics or serotonin 5-HT2A receptor agonists like LSD, psilocybin, mescaline, and DMT; dissociatives or NMDA receptor antagonists like ketamine, PCP, DXM, and nitrous oxide; deliriants or antimuscarinics like scopolamine and diphenhydramine; cannabinoids or cannabinoid CB1 receptor agonists like THC, nabilone, and JWH-018; κ-opioid receptor agonists like salvinorin A and pentazocine; GABAA receptor agonists like muscimol and gaboxadol; oneirogens like ibogaine and harmaline; and others like nutmeg, carbogen, glaucine, and hallucinogenic bolete mushrooms.
