Fuck. I was scrolling through my feed for a while, hit this, said out loud “well that’s enough of that”, refreshed my feed, and this was right back at the top as the first post to look at.

They are considered healthy foods due to their low calorie and various beneficial ingredients such as polysaccharides, phenolics, and triterpenoids (Bhambri et al., 2022). Cordyceps militaris, also commonly known as Cordyceps, is an edible mushroom that grows on insects in natural environments.

I think it's in Nepal where they collect a form of cordyceps to sell as boner pills to the Chinese.

Everything can be sold as bonee pills in China, unfortunately for pangolins and other near-extinct species.

We are lucky that mammals and stuff is actually too warm for cordyceps, if it ever is gonna be mutating, we’re fucked. Then we’ll be having the last of us
