A mushroom in China makes people see little people. Not sometimes. Not vaguely. 96 percent of the time, the same vision: tiny humanoid figures marching across tables, climbing furniture, dancing in formation. Hospitals in Yunnan province treat hundreds of these cases every summer. The mushroom is called Lanmaoa asiatica and it has been a popular edible for generations. Servers at hot pot restaurants set timers and warn you not to eat before it goes off or you might see the xiao ren ren. Then a researcher at the University of Utah found the same mushroom causing the same visions in the Philippines. And possibly Papua New Guinea. Three countries. Three languages. No cultural contact. One species. One vision.
