The name of the mushroom is Lanmaoa asiatica, and if undercooked will cause you to hallucinate tiny people running around for days. The curious part is the hallucinations seem to be rather consistent across observers...sort of like the DMT "Machine Elves".
Now I wonder if there's a British or European variant that might explain the fairy folk (often seen around mushrooms), elves & leprechauns...
