Draft ideas/possible changes
I am going to add to the cultivation and use section with more in depth information on the ongoing research into cordyceps militaris medicinal applications. According to the article, "A Brief review on the medicinal uses of cordyceps militaris" (ScienceDirect), cordyceps militaris us commonly used in China for its anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, anti-cancer properties. Clinical studies on the fungus are complex and difficult because of the large amount of chemicals that are found in the structure of fungi. Despite the difficulties in learning more about the fungus, it is stated that it is beneficial to add cordyceps militaris to a diet, due to the many health benefits it offers.
