Cordycep mushrooms, commonly known as cordycep flowers, are not new on the market, but previously, only dried ones could be found in dried-goods shops.
I was delighted to find fresh cordycep mushrooms in the wet market at Block 105 Hougang Avenue 1 recently. Vegetable-stall owner David Tan, 41, says this is the first time he is carrying the product from Shenzhen. He sells each 150g packet at $2.50.
