WHERE AND HOW DOES CORDYCEPS GROW?
🧡
Cordyceps commonly grows in the mountainous regions of China, The Himalayas and Tibet. In the wild, Cordyceps exists as a parasitic fungus that inhabits the body of insects such as caterpillars and ants. Ophiocordyceps sinensis, formerly Cordyceps sinensis, the strain we’ve derived from here at Superfeast, appears as a blade-like mushroom growing out of the head of a caterpillar. The cordyceps mycelium is encased in the mummified body of the caterpillar, this is where the fungus germinates. The fruiting body sprouts forth from the caterpillar, and is generally capless and shaped like a blade or twig. Nature is pretty gnarly huh! 🔸

SUPERFEAST CORDYCEPS IS a
vegan one though - no sacrificial caterpillars involved here due to the heavy price point and non-sustainability of the industry at volume. We use a strain derived from cordyceps which is cultivated in liquid fermentation tanks on a mycelial culture. This is know as Cs-4 as it was the 4th strain tried when attempting the create a sustainable cordyceps cultivation and used due to its constituent and clinical closeness to the wild mushie.
This is the only herb where we deviate from our Di Tao philosophy due to the potency and necessity for this herb to be present in the overall offerings of our apothecary. 🔸
