1. Origin and Nature: Cordyceps refers to a genus of parasitic fungi. They are most renowned for their behavior of infecting insects and other arthropods. Once the fungi take over, they eventually replace the host tissue and sprout a long, slender fruiting body outside of the host.
2. Notable Species: There are over 400 species of Cordyceps, but the most widely known and studied is Cordyceps sinensis. It primarily infects caterpillar larvae of certain moths in the high-altitude regions of the Himalayas, Tibet, China, and neighboring regions.
3. Traditional Use: For centuries, especially in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Tibetan medicine, cordyceps have been revered as a remedy for various ailments. They were traditionally harvested in the wild, making them exceedingly rare and valuable.
