Wayno-

I've never heard of commercially grown Cordyceps but it make sense as supply can not keep up with demand. I wonder who pioneered the method? The Chinese?

Meanwhile there's still a big market for the original product and people getting killed over it?!

Paul Stamets at Fungi Perfecti cultures several medicinal fungi and he may have been the one to figure out how to do certain species.

The Chinese use many different fungi for medicine and sexual tonics, along with antlers and genitals of certain animals. It's strong juju for them, and they go to great effort to acquire them, so it's not surprising that folks get killed over these things.
