Lanmaoa asiatica is a species ofbolete mushroom in the familyBoletaceae that is native to southwest China[1] and adjacent regions. It is reddish in color[2] and it is an ectomycorrhizal symbiote of the Yunnan Pine,Pinus yunnanensis.
It is considered a choice wild edible inYunnan Province[2] and may have hallucinogenic compounds which may or may not be removable by cooking. It is unclear what compounds exist in the fungi that could cause such hallucinations, but if they exist, they are likely to be different from those inpsilocybin mushrooms.[3]
