Cordyceps is a very special mushroom that only grows on a certain type of caterpillar at a specific time of year in the high altitudes of Tibet. It’s truly a strange form of herb, but one that historically carried value equal in weight to gold and was specifically reserved for emperors and royalty. It has long been considered one of the most valuable herbal supplements used traditionally by the Chinese. Today, fortunately, top-quality cordyceps can be easily cultivated and its wonderful benefits are available to anyone.
Cordyceps sinensis is native to Tibet and China. Cordyceps militaris is a closely related mushroom species that grows natively in the US rockies and Appalachian mountains known to have similar properties.
