This is a closeup shot of the fake cordyceps from today's earlier blog. I think the store in Chicago was selling this stuff for $5 or so for a box of 3 oz. That price is a dead giveaway, and of course the appearance and the flavor of the fake is pretty easy to spot if one knows what the real stuff looks like.

Note that there is no black fungus growing out of the top of the "caterpillar." That black fungus seen on the real product is the actual fruiting body of the cordyceps. The fake doesn't even pretend to have it, it looks more like a silkworm than a caterpillar with a fungus growing out of the top.
