This page should redirect to a Cordyceps sinensis, not the other way round. Nemetona 17:04, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
ǎǍǎÁ----To improve the web site. I think that you should have a bit more about the enivorment and that have pictures to show what you are talking about a lable them to.This is just a idea
Please do it from a ten year old Reshma Ratti Vegetable Caterpillar is a really bad name. Must be "Chinglish" or some other poor translation. Caterpillar Fungus is the generally accepted name. It should be listed straight under Cordyceps sinensis or Caterpillar Fungus, but not this vegetable worm. What is vegetable about it? The caterpillar, the fungus? Actually caterpillar and Cordyceps are closer related to each other than either to any mysterious vegetable.
[edit] Used for breaking world record?
"he fungus is so popular because two female Chinese athletes (Wang Junxia and Qu Yunxia) beat the world records for 1500, 3000 and 10000 meters. Their coach said this fungus -that is already known for 2000 years- helped the athletes."
Some people are too naive to beleive what the coach (Ma Junren) said. I just could not help laughing when reading this. It was just a smart trick to hide his real systematic, scientific way in training his atheletes. I would not tell more here in case I may leak some of his training methods. :-) --Leo 22:29, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Vegetable
I don't think there is any contradiction here in calling it 'vegetable' since the term does not necessarily imply a plant organism and is not strictly a scientific term denoting members of the plant kingdom. Vegetable could refer to fungi as well as plants; after all most people consider edible mushrooms as vegetables. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.111.200.200 (talk) 20:07, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
