If you consumed a wild mushroom and suddenly started seeing tiny people around you, you might reasonably assume it contained a familiar psychedelic.

    Maybe it’s not a hallucination at all. Maybe the mushroom is actually an anti-hallucinogen. It suppresses the hallucinations that normally prevent us from seeing the tiny people.

      It’s the W-class Mnestic agent in the mushroom.

            Like when you go to a friend’s house with a timid cat, and the moment they see you, they panic and run under a bed.
