Cordyceps Flower (Cordyceps militaris) — Dried Edible Mushroom for Soup & Broth, 500g

Cordyceps Flower (Cordyceps militaris) is the dried fruiting body of a cultivated edible fungus known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Chóng Cǎo Huā (虫草花). Though distinct from the wild caterpillar fungus, it has been prized in modern Chinese food culture as a gentle, lung-and-kidney nourishing ingredient used in soups, broths, and daily tonic cooking. Its nature is sweet and neutral, making it a mild yet deeply comforting culinary herb for supporting vitality and seasonal nourishment.
