You wanted to read the book, you were excited to crack it open, you came into it with good faith and anticipation… but you ended up dnf-ing it. Which book and why?
Mine was The Maid by Nita Prose. It was for my book club and looked like a fun murder mystery. Instead I got instant manic-pixie-dream-neurodivergent-girl vibes, and I noped out before the crime scene was even found.
Ok I am no mycologist but I have to know how they managed such a density of errors. Without research I am going to guess: 1. Cordyceps is not a species 2. It exists elsewhere 3. Misspelling or improper capitalization of Cordyceps, or the word “speci(e)s”?
Yeah. Cordyceps is a genus with hundreds of species , it’s worldwide, but mostly in Asia
The third error, to my way of thinking, is that Cordyceps are found in habitats outside of “jungle.” Many of them collected for the herbal trade are found in alpine areas above the tree line where it is easier to find them.
Also the Amazon is technically a rainforest, not a jungle (even though Amazon Jungle is a common name)
