Cordyceps Mushroom Powder (Cordyceps sinensis) – Dried Herb, Organic

Mushrooms have been used as food, medicine, and spiritual mushroom practices in religious rituals across the world since at least 5000 BC.

Cordyceps has a long history of use in Traditional Chinese medicine as an exotic medicinal mushroom and is thought to have been discovered 2000 years ago with the first formally documented use coming from the Bencao Congxin (New Compilation of Materia Medica) in the Qing dynasty in 1757. Cordyceps are parasitic fungi that grow on the larvae of insects. Our Cordyceps mushrooms are put through a steam activation process to increase bioavailability and are then ground to a fine powder.
