What is Cordyceps sinensis?
Cordyceps sinensis, also known as Cordyceps sinensis, is a traditional and precious Chinese herbal medicine in China. The real Cordyceps sinensis is wild and grows on the grass slope near the snow line above the alpine grassland shrub belt at an altitude of 3000 to 5000 meters. In summer, worm eggs are laid on the ground, and after a month or so, they hatch into larvae and then drill into the wet and soft soil layer. A mold in the soil invaded the larvae, grew in the larvae, and ate them until they died. After a winter, when the next spring comes, the mold hyphae begin to grow, and in summer, they grow out of the ground and look like a grass. The larva's body and the mold hyphae together form a complete "Cordyceps sinensis". The fungus spore takes the insect body as food and grows rapidly. The insect body is generally four to five centimeters, and the fungus spore can grow to the length of the insect body within one day. At this time, Cordyceps sinensis is called "head grass" and has the best quality. The next day, the fungus spores grow to about twice the size of the worm, which is called "Ercao", and the quality is second. It is called "Cordyceps sinensis" because it will grow roots after being rigid. The text description may be abstract and difficult to understand. The video of "The Mystery of the Life of Cordyceps sinensis" is a real shot of the formation process of Cordyceps sinensis, which is very realistic. You can go and have a look. Don't let me post links
