Is the game supposed to occasionally go rainbow-y?

Twice now today - and only just today, after a few weeks of playing - I've watched the graphics go squirrelly.  Specifically, everything shifts to a rainbow-tint, rather like an oil slick, and everything goes wavy.  It's not a temporal event with bad graphics, I know that much.  I'm assuming it's probably a graphical glitch of some kind, but I thought I'd ask whether there's a lore-based reason for this is to be happening that I've only just now stumbled into?

If you are playing 1.22 you most likely ate a mushroom with psychedelic properties.

I ain't been eatin' no such mushrooms!
Check that, apparently I ate a liberty cap and that's what happened.

Definitely magic mushrooms. Don't worry, the effect will wear off after a few minutes. To my knowledge, cooking them will remove the psychedelic properties, so you might want to make sure they're cooked before eating them if you don't like trips.

Life is NOT like a box of chocolates!

Life is like a bite of a magic shroom.   You don't know how bad the trip is going to be until it's too late.

The cooking . . . it does nothing!

I'm just trying out the "new" update v1.22.3 (Yeah, yeah  . . .  I'm slow. And  I was waiting for the stable release.)

I made up a Chanterelle Wavy Cap and vegetable meal - after checking the Wiki, because I'm not silly - and was up a tree when this happened:

I was checking the current rift status quick smart, I can tell you! But no, not that.

Definitely the prepared meal. I had to eat a second portion to be sure. Then a third because I was hungry and short of food. Then the fourth portion . . . because you may as well, at this point, right?

Apart from turning the world an ever more vivid shade of rainbow, there were no lasting ill effects. I was half worried that in this game, drifters might be even more attracted to you when in this condition. (I shouldn't give them ideas . . .).

Ah yeah, it used to be that cooking the shrooms removed the toxins, but they changed that before the stable release. There's also no warning about which mushrooms induce these effects, so unless you already know which shrooms are magic and which are not, checking the ingredients before eating a meal probably won't help.
