The mushroom that inspired the first “zombie” legends — Cordyceps in ancient Tibet 🧟♂️🏔️
Ophiocordyceps sinensis — the caterpillar fungus.
Tibetan monks and healers described it 1,500 years ago as “the fungus that turns insects into walking dead.” It inspired real zombie folklore centuries before movies.
Now one of the most expensive medicinal mushrooms on Earth.
Mind blown yet?
