Cutting Cordyceps from its Medium

[RSMaster4259]

So all of those orange things were at one point zombies?

[darkdoom645]

not exactly zombies more like mushroom hybrids

[XXTheRealMcCoyXX]

mushrooms, growing on mushrooms ha! = D

[Rastaguy2]

naw cordyceps mushrooms are different from the parasite itself..... if infected with the parasite the insects become zombies with fungus growing from their thorax~ but the mushroom in itself naturally grows like that...

[darkdoom645]

is it edible or do people use it in medicine

[Rastaguy2]

its edible in some countries...
