Guest guest Report post Posted March 17, 2008 Cordyceps is good for the lungs. It is also one of the 4 mushrooms in the AHCC formula for fighting cancer. Maitake, Shitake, Reishi and cordyceps are all cancer fighters. Also for people having lung problems cordyceps helps breathing better.

Guest guest Report post Posted March 17, 2008 Corydceps is a parasitic fungus it grows on the larvae and pupae of insects like moths or butterflies. There are allot of different varieties. The largest part of the fungus is below the ground or in the rotted wood where the larvae would be. There is a D.O. here that is really into medicinal mushrooms and he has taken me out through the woods showing me all kinds of wonderful fungus. It is amazing how with the weather being slightly different each year one or another fungus has an advantage and there will be a bumper crop of one kind and you will not see the other kinds for years. Because we had a huge wind storm two years ago and it blew down allot of Hemlock trees in our area there were Ganoderma tsugae every where on the downed trees last year. This species prefers Hemlock, it is also called Hemlock varnish shelf. Katu Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
