More specifically, it's an mmap()ed series of linked lists of BSON documents, with some relatively simple B-tree indexing, a little journaling, and an unfortunate tendency to drop data on the floor.

Mongo hasn't used the MMAP storage engine for a long time. In fact it looks like it has even been removed now:

Wired Tiger, the default storage engine is LSM Trees with BTrees for indexes.

Not LSM, all BTrees, but the rest is correct.

Not sure of the current state of Mongo but WT certainly has LSM Trees:
