edible, but it is not recommended to eat in large quantities.

Corynebacterium subgingii, also known as Cordyceps gunnii and Cordyceps Hawkes, is parasitic on the ascomycetes of Lepidoptera larvae, and consists of a worm body and a daughter growing from the head.

Hunan folk ducks or other meats are steamed with this Cordyceps as nourishing products. According to the comparison of chemical components and ultraviolet absorption spectra made by Hunan Institute for Drug Control, it is similar to the components of Cordyceps sinensis, and has been used as a medicine in Guizhou at present.

However, occasionally using this product can cause dizziness and vomiting, so there are still some toxic and side effects, so it is not recommended to eat it in large quantities. Pharmacological analysis and research are still under way.

The difference between Cordyceps sinensis and Corynebacterium spicatum

1. Cordyceps sinensis is brittle and easy to break, with a slightly flat section, yellowish white, and a dark brown "V" in the middle. The shape of Cordyceps sinensis is similar to that of Cordyceps sinensis, but it has no V-shaped structure.

2. Cordyceps sinensis has a single color, but some white spots can be found on its body. In addition, with the help of magnifying glass, it can be found that there are granular protrusions on the grass bodies of both of them, but there is no cell body at the top of Cordyceps sinensis, and the cell body of Cordyceps sinensis will continue to the top.
