Along with its long history in traditional Chinese and Tibetan medicine, cordyceps have maintained their status as a go-to for athletes. In fact, there is a story involving the  Chinese running team  that quickly became the stuff of legend back in the early 1990s. That's when the Chinese Olympic women’s running team won multiple competitions and broke three world records. While they attributed their incredible athletic performance to cordyceps, their claims were tarnished years later when their coach  Ma Junren  was fired after six of his other athletes failed drug tests. Still, the performance-enhancing effects and health benefits of cordyceps supplements should not be dismissed. While more clinical trials are needed, much of the available research shows promising results.

Hen-of-the-woods Grifola frondosa , commonly known as hen-of-the-woods or maitake, is an edible mushroom that’s a favorite of mushroom hunters. Growth Hen-of-the-woods is a polypore — a type of fungus that has small pores covering its underside. They grow on the bases of trees in shelf-like clusters, favoring hardwoods like oak. These clusters resemble the tail feathers of a sitting hen — hence the name “hen-of-the-woods.” Several hen-of-the-woods may grow on a single tree ( 1 ). This mushroom is native to China but also grows in Japan and North America, especially the northeastern United States. It’s a perennial mushroom and often grows in the same spot for many years.
