The expensive herb Cordyceps, which peaked at 200,000 yuan a kilogram, is not usually consumed by ordinary people. But people have found a substitute for Cordyceps --- Cordyceps flowers. Cordyceps flowers cultivated artificially to improve the yield of 800 yuan a kilogram, cost-effective, and has become the Guangdong people's favorite soup "artifacts"

Cordyceps flowers are a kind of fungi, and the common Shiitake mushrooms, mushrooms and other edible fungi are very similar to Cordyceps flowers on the appearance of the biggest feature is that there is no "body of the insect "

Cordyceps is a fungus that resembles common mushrooms such as shiitake mushrooms and other edible mushrooms.

Cultivation of Cordyceps flowers is mainly done by picking and screening strains from nature, then mimicking the conditions of nature by mixing nutrients, temperature, air humidity, and light conditions suitable for their growth, allowing the strains to grow slowly.

Because of the huge market, Guangdong has become the largest province in the cultivation of Cordyceps flowers, with Jiangmen's production ranking ahead. At present, Jiangmen cultivation of Cordyceps flowers of enterprises large and small there are more than 20.

Located in Duyen, Honghao Biotechnology Co., Ltd. is one of the representatives, which has tens of thousands of pots of Cordyceps flowers placed in the cultivation room, and the chairman of the board of directors, Mr. Su Binghao, told the reporter that a lot of Cordyceps flowers used for soups in the market come from here. These cordyceps flowers can be grown after 40-52 days of cultivation, and can be cultivated 8-10 times a year.

Cultivating cordyceps flowers? Jiangmen in 1994

Jiangmen's earliest cultivation of cordyceps flowers in 1994, when the Xinhui Botanical Research Institute, Xinhui Fruit Tube Seedling Experiment and Development Base, to become the country's first cultivation of cordyceps flowers in the Institute, and soon realize the factory production. Su Binghao is the Institute of an agronomist, he remembers, in 1994, the production of only 70 kilograms a year, the selling price can reach 3,000 yuan / kg; and now, Honghao a year's production of 80 tons - 100 tons, but the price also fell accordingly.

After that, the research institute and development base were restructured and became the current Honghao Biotechnology Co. Su Binghao also by the time of the agronomist into the current entrepreneur, but he is still like a field research experts: wearing thick lenses glasses, a pen inserted in the shirt pocket, stepping on a pair of sandals every day in his 13,000 square meters of plant up and down run. And, he is 70 years old.

He said that Cordyceps flowers are of great value and can be used in soups as well as pharmaceuticals and wine. At present, he has developed his own Cordyceps flower wine and Cordyceps flower drink, but they are not yet on the market for various reasons.
