This research took many years to complete and has resulted in a mushroom that is no longer destined only for the those who can afford it.
The Cordyceps fungi has a long tradition in Chinese medicine being the chosen supplement for emperors and other royalty. Legend tells how the fungi was discovered by Tibetan herdsman who observed their yak becoming sprightly after consuming a strange 'blue grass'. After experimenting on themselves it was discovered that the 'blue grass' was a fungi that sprouted from the heads of dead caterpillars under the earth. The properties then spread throughout China and was used accordingly by the Chinese upper classes.
