Cordyceps Fungi

Cordyceps Fungus is extremely sought after due to its versatility in traditional medicinal treatments for conditions as simple as the cough to something as serious as arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat). It is considered an adaptogen In Traditional Chinese Medicine, and is highly regarded, ranking among the best holistic treatments like Ginseng. The fungus is particularly rare due to its unusual parasitic quality in insects. The fungus invades and eventually replaces the tissues of many insect species, leaving an elongated mass of cordyceps fungus not much bigger than the insect that hosted it.
