Cordyceps sinensis insects, most of which are larvae of the flat bat moth, hatch in the soil in summer, and then these larvae are infected by fungi in the soil in autumn and winter. After infection, fungi gradually began to spread underground. When the larvae are about three centimeters from the ground, the larvae will die and the fungi will be full of insects.

When the larvae die, the fungi will be packaged in worms and completely occupied. When the weather gets warmer, buds grow on the head or mouth of the larvae. Buds began to break through the ground and then began to grow, which is what we call summer grass.

For example, when it is in the soil in winter, it is a bug. In summer, when it comes out after being warm every day, it becomes this plant, which is a kind of purple grass. Therefore, the name Cordyceps sinensis completely conforms to its growth characteristics. Winter is a bug. When it warms in the soil, it grows into a purple grass, so it is called summer grass, so it is called cordyceps sinensis.
