OREANDA-NEWS In the Sverdlovsk region, a Russian found the most expensive mushroom in the world. The corresponding publication appeared in the community "Mushrooms and mushroom pickers of Yekaterinburg and Sverdlovsk region" on VKontakte.

We are talking about cordyceps, which is widely used in Chinese medicine and is a powerful immunomodulator. It is known to grow on insects and their larvae.

"Congratulations to me. On the last day of summer, I found cordyceps, the most expensive mushroom in the world. However, "getting rich" will not work. There are only two copies, and our Ural cordyceps, unlike the Chinese one, is very small," the man said.

Earlier it was reported that a resident of the Novosibirsk region found fabulous bright turquoise mushrooms in the forest and shared her find.
