I mean, who would eat this? After all the media coverage of their bug murdering nature and computer games based on human zombies brought about due to rogue cordyceps? I'd have thought it would be a marketing nightmare lol.
The macro photography is looking great!
(I would) ;)
But really though, they were actually quite tasty - and in Asia, boy do they think cordyceps are special.
And, actually, there might be some scientific weight behind that idea. A google scholar search for cordyceps species and you'll turn up a wide range of research, often about its potential cancer/tumor fighting properties - or the properties of certain extractable compounds inside them.
Not saying eating it does anything - but boy do folks think otherwise
Yea, The Last of Us was I believe inspired by Cordyceps. I guess they're used for medicinal purposes but I'm grossed out by them regardless.
That's the game I had in mind but brain farted lol. Amazing game, too. I ought to replay some time.
