Cordyceps, I believe everyone has heard of, the impression is one of the synonyms of rare medicinal herbs. So what exactly does Cordyceps mean? How exactly is it eaten? Let's take a look at it today with the small editor of Lanqing Biology.
Cordyceps is full name Cordyceps sinensis, "Winter is a worm, summer is a grass, Cordyceps sinensis is a treasure". Cordyceps is a winter fungus that parasitizes the larvae of the Cordyceps moth and develops in the summer. Cordyceps got its name.
In appearance, Cordyceps sinensis is golden yellow, light yellow or yellowish brown, and is known as "golden grass" because of its high price. Because of its high medicinal value and good efficacy, it is regarded as a treasure at home and abroad, and the market demand is large, but because of its scarcity of natural resources, the price is very expensive.
Judging from its formation process. In layman's terms, it is that many species of bat moths of the bat family reproduce in the soil, lay eggs in the soil, and after the eggs become larvae, before and after this, Cordyceps sinensis bacteria invade the larvae, absorb the material in the larvae as a nutritional condition for survival, and continuously multiply in the larvae, resulting in the larva being filled with hyphae.
When the weather warms up in May and July of the following year, a yellow or light brown fungus grows from the head of the larvae, and after growth, the ground emerges in the shape of a grass stalk, forming the cordyceps we usually see. Therefore, although it has the appearance of both insects and grasses, it is not a worm and a non-grass, and belongs to the algae species.
