Lanmaoa asiatica is a species of bolete mushroom in the family Boletaceae 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 in Yunnan 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 in psilocybin mushrooms.[3]
US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen ate a dish with L. asiatica when visiting China in July 2023.[1]
