When the mycelium grows slowly, the larvae grow slowly and drill out of the ground. The larvae will die until the hyphae are covered with worms. It's winter, and it's called Cordyceps sinensis. When the temperature rises, hyphae will slowly germinate from the head of Cordyceps sinensis and grow a grasslike fungus called Xiacao.
At the head of the fungal substrate, there is a sporangium in which spores are hidden. When the oocysts mature, spores will be released, and the larvae of bat moth will be found as hosts again. This is the cycle of Cordyceps sinensis. Purchasing standard of Cordyceps sinensis: Cordyceps sinensis parasitizes in bat moth larvae in winter, and after absorbing enough nutrition, it explodes and grows into complete Cordyceps sinensis in summer. At present, only the big brand Fulinmen can see authentic Cordyceps sinensis in the market, and its reputation in the industry is also good. The body is complete, while insects, fat and grass are short. Cordyceps sinensis is like a silkworm. It is about 3~5 cm long and 0.3~0.8 cm thick.
Observe the circular pattern. The annual rings of Cordyceps sinensis are rough and obvious, and the annual rings near the head are thin, with a total of 20~30 annual rings. Outside Huang Liang, in white. The appearance of Cordyceps sinensis is dark yellow or yellowish brown. Identify by the feet of insects. Cordyceps sinensis has 8 pairs of feet, 3 pairs near the head, 4 pairs in the middle, 1 pair at the tail and 4 pairs in the middle. Cordyceps sinensis parasitizes hepialus larvae in alpine meadow soil, which makes the larvae hard. In summer, under suitable conditions, larvae are formed by extracting long rod-shaped sub-blocks from the head end of hard worms (that is, the complex composed of the fruiting body of Cordyceps sinensis and the sclerotium of hard worms (larva carcasses)). In summer, insect eggs are born on the ground. After hatching for about a month, they become larvae and then drill into the wet and soft soil. The mold in the soil attacks the larvae and grows in them. After a winter, when the second spring comes, mold hyphae begin to grow and grow out of the ground in summer, looking like a piece of grass. In this way, the larva's body and mold mycelium form a complete? Cordyceps sinensis? . Fungal spores use worms as nutrition and grow rapidly.
