Basic introduction of Cordyceps sinensis in Gannan, Gansu

Gansu Gannan is rich in Cordyceps sinensis, which is a major local specialty. Cordyceps sinensis is a plant species of ergot fungus, which is a complex of cordyceps that grows from the parasitic larvae of grass bats on the fruiting seat of the fungus. Both the worm body and the grass seat can be used as medicine

Winter worm grass is not a worm, nor is it grass. It is a complex of the parasitic seat and larval body of the ergot fungus Cordyceps sinensis on the larvae of bat moths. It is a traditional precious nourishing Chinese medicinal herb with various effects such as regulating immune system function, anti-tumor, and anti fatigue. True winter cordyceps are all wild and grow on grassy slopes near the snow line in alpine grasslands and shrublands at altitudes of 3000 to 5000 meters, with high requirements for the natural environment. In summer, insect eggs are laid on the ground and hatch into larvae after about a month before burrowing into damp and soft soil layers. A mold in the soil invades the larvae and grows inside their bodies. After a winter, the fungal hyphae begin to grow and emerge from the ground in summer, resembling a small blade of grass. In this way, the body of the larvae and the fungal hyphae together form a complete "Cordyceps sinensis". Fungal spores use the insect body as a nutrient and grow rapidly. The insect body is generally four to five centimeters long, and the fungus can grow to the length of the insect body within one day. At this time, the cordyceps is called "head grass" and has the best quality; The next day, when the fungal spores grow to about twice the size of the insect body, they are called "two grasses", with the second highest quality. Because it grows root hairs after becoming rigid, it is called Cordyceps sinensis
