Once the world stopped gagging, they became curious — turtle soup aside, what exactly is caterpillar fungus? Before we take that deep dive into the intricacies of Chinese medicine, let’s rewind a little.
Fungi Facts
Mushrooms are fungi, which by their very nature function to decompose matter. And while we might colloquially recognize mushrooms as a vegetable, fungi actually stand in a kingdom all their own. “There’s more DNA similarity between mushrooms and mammals than between mushrooms and plant life,” says Sandra Carter, Ph.D., founder of Om Mushroom Superfood. “Mushrooms exhale carbon dioxide and inhale oxygen, they have a sexual reproduction cycle and they sort of ‘read the room’ as you’re ingesting them.” In this way, mushrooms are a top adaptogen, a substance that can help the body “adapt to” and handle stressors.
While there are zillions of species of mushrooms, they are colloquially divided into four main types: culinary, medicinal, psychedelic and poisonous.

THE POWER CLEAN (Discover this dirty little secret for better functional fitness.)
OLYMPIC LIFTS ARE A VALUABLE TOOL FOR IMPROVING STRENGTH and athletic performance â and as a side bonus, they also help develop crazy-good muscle shape, size, and definition. In fact, one could argue that the power-clean portion of the clean-and-jerk is the best exercise ever devised. âThe clean is a functional movement used [routinely] in everyday activities,â says Aaron Viscounte, CSCS, head coach and manager at Summerâs Fitness Inc. in North Canton, Ohio. âWe use aspects of the clean to pick up a box and put it on a shelf, move furniture or even go grocery shopping.â During a power clean, the barbell travels from the floor to the ârackedâ position at shoulder level and back down again. We tapped some elite trainers for their step-by-step expert advice on making the most of every rep.
