> Most modern scientific experimentation has failed to demonstrate any lasting medicinal potency in the fungus, Lasting is a weird weasel word here. Cordyceps are well studied, and they do have acute effects that have been measured in many studies. They increase athletic endurance and are stimulating. Is the author minimizing the effects to try to prevent the ecological effects of over harvesting? Most cordyceps supplements today contain cordyceps militaris spawned on grain. Sinensis is sometimes claimed to be more potent than easier-to-cultivate militaris - I wouldnt be surprised if the romanticism of the "wild and rare" version is overblown, but the claim that it doesn't have demonstrable potency seems implausible and strange.
