Cordyceps Folklore

Folklore suggest that the native herdsmen in Tibet observed yaks eating the grasses and becoming energized and sexually active. When they investigated the ‘grasses’ they found Cordyceps mushrooms. These native Tibetans began using it for themselves and noticed similar effects. They would put it in hot milk or water to create a tonic.
