Truth or not fuck china
Yay!
Saw this a couple days ago, not a cordyceps but a Akanthomyces, although they are both in the Cordycipitaceae. Basically just saying, cordycepts arent the only general of brain controlling fungi. There are many to consider. If you are interested, you can see recent observations of that family here - https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?verifiable=true&taxon_id=58706&place_id=&preferred_place_id=&locale=en

Every time I hear chinese people say some weird edible shit has "medical benefits" I just assumed some peasant back in China was scamming people to earn some money by selling anything they could find around their house.
we slowly recover from Covid, it will take years, but we will be fine as long as Chine doesn't screw up agai-
Dead fungus can do nothing, don't worry. Though skin fungus are pain in the ass.
We better watch out for Toxoplasmosis.
