Interesting fact about mushrooms #7
Yartsa Gunbu is The Most Expensive Edible Mushroom in The World
Yartsa Gunbu, or the caterpillar fungus, is a parasitic fungus that kills its host caterpillar and uses it to produce a mushroom that grows out of the caterpillar’s head.
Eating them is considered a status symbol, and at $50,000 per pound (£80,500 per kilogram), or $2,000 for a single ounce, they’re the most expensive mushrooms in the world.
