Why does Cordyceps resemble insects? Is it really the shell of a worm???

Cordyceps sinensis is a combination of insects and fungi.

Some fungi survive by parasiting on insects. In the fall, when these fungi and plants are ripe, their seeds (called spores) have grown and matured, and they burrow into the larvae of insects such as butterflies and moths. The spores then slowly grow by absorbing nutrients from the bodies of these delicate larvae.

The little larvae didn't feel anything unusual when the spores first burrowed into their bodies, but by the spring of the following year they were depleted and gradually died, leaving only an empty shell.

The fungus has a strong ability to grow, and by the second year, it has eaten everything in the little larvae, and by summer, the fungus has emerged from the top of the larva's head and grown into a slender rod, which is what we see as "grass". The upper part of the rod is enlarged, and there are many small spheres in the bulging area, and many Cordyceps offspring ,—— new generation spores are hidden in the small spheres. When autumn comes, these new spores will quietly burrow into the larvae of the new generation of insects and grow into new cordyceps.

The appearance of Cordyceps sinensis is unique in the plant kingdom. It is composed of two parts, the lower part is the shell of a worm, yellowish-white or golden-yellow, with clear ring lines, and the head, tail, and feet can be clearly seen. The upper part is longer than a bug, a bit like a brown daylily, with very fine longitudinal lines on the surface, but in fact, it is just a monophyte.

This "grass" also grows on crickets, wasps, beetles and other insects. The fungus that parasitizes the larvae of cicadas is called cicada mushroom in summer.

Cordyceps sinensis is also a valuable tonic medicine in China! It has many effects, it can treat tuberculosis, anemia, cardiovascular disease, stomach disease, and even bad appetite and loss of appetite.

It's not a shell of a worm, it's very precious.

Bugs are bugs, whereas Cordyceps sinensis is Cordyceps. Cordyceps sinensis is the larva of the bat moth, a fungus of cordyceps. Cordyceps sinensis is an animal called the bat moth that lays eggs underground, causing them to hatch and grow like baby silkworms.

In addition, there is a type of spores that seep into the ground through waterBat moth larvae have been specifically found to parasitize, absorb the nutrients of the larvae, and multiply rapidly, called cordyceps sinensis fungi.

When the hyphae grow slowly, the larvae grow slowly and burrow out of the ground. The larvae die until the hyphae are overgrown with worms. It's winter and it's called Cordyceps.

When the temperature rises, the hyphae will slowly sprout from the head of Cordyceps sinensis and grow a grass-like fungus called Sorcos.

In the head of the fungal matrix, there are sporangia in which the spores are hidden. When the oocysts mature, the spores are released and the larvae of the bat moth are again sought out as hosts, which is the Cordyceps cycle. Cordyceps Sinensis Procurement Standards:

Cordyceps sinensis parasitizes in the body of bat moth larvae in winter, and after absorbing enough nutrients, it erupts in summer and grows into a complete Cordyceps sinensis. At present, only the big brand FLM can see authentic Cordyceps sinensis in the market, and its reputation in the industry is also good. The body is intact,Whereas insects, fat, and grass are short.

Cordyceps sinensis is like a silkworm. It is about 3, 5 centimeters long and centimeters thick.

Observe the circular pattern. Cordyceps sinensis has rough and pronounced rings, and the rings near the head are thinner, with a total of 20 30 rings. On the outside of the yellow light, on the inside of the white.

Cordyceps sinensis has a dark yellow or yellowish brown appearance. Identified by the insect's feet. Cordyceps sinensis has 8 pairs of feet, 3 pairs near the head, 4 pairs in the middle, 1 pair in the tail, and 4 pairs in the middle.

Cordyceps sinensis parasitizes the larvae of manta moths in alpine meadow soils, hardening the larvae. In summer, under suitable conditions, larvae are formed by extracting long rod-like submasses from the head of a hardworm (i.e., a complex consisting of the fruiting body of Cordyceps sinensis and the sclerotia of a hardworm (larval carcasses). In summer, insect eggs are born on the ground.

After hatching for about a month, they turn into larvae and burrow into moist and soft soil. Mold in the soil attacks the larvae and grows in them. After one winter, when the second spring arrives, the mold mycelium begins to grow and grows out of the ground in the summer, looking like a patch of grass.

In this way, the body of the larva and the mold hyphae form a complete "cordyceps". Fungal spores use worms as nutrients and grow rapidly.

Yes, it was transformed by bugs. It is said to be a fungus of the family of fungi and has great medicinal properties.

It is true that the bug is infected with some kind of fungus, and then the worm and the grass combine to form Cordyceps.

Cordyceps sinensis is indeed a worm, because in the winter it becomes a bug.

Cordyceps sinensis is a stool-shaped animal called a bat moth that lays its eggs in the ground and hatches them into larvae that resemble baby silkworms. In addition, there is a kind of spores that will penetrate into the ground through water, specifically looking for the larvae of the bat moth to parasitize, and absorb the nutrients of the larvae, and reproduce rapidly, called Cordyceps fungus.

As the hyphae grow, the larvae also grow and emerge from the ground. Until the hyphae multiply to fill the worm body, the larvae die, which happens to be winter, which is called winter worms. When the temperature rises, the mycelium will slowly germinate from the head of the winter insect and grow a grass-like fungus called summer grass.

Cordyceps sinensis is not an insect or a grass, but a fungus.

In summer, on the plateau meadows at high altitudes, adult bat moths lay their eggs on the ground, hatch into larvae and burrow into the soil, and the ascospores of Cordyceps sinensis in the soil take the opportunity to invade the larvae, continue to grow in the larvae, fully absorb the nutrients of the larvae, continue to germinate hyphae and the larvae will die, and the skin sac of the worm body is gradually filled with mycelium, that is, "winter worms".

After a winter, the mycelium begins to grow in the following spring, and a purple-red, baseball-shaped new organism grows from the mouth or head of the dead larvae, and breaks through the soil, known as "summer grass".

It can be seen that Cordyceps sinensis is not a worm or a grass, but a fungus that parasitizes the larvae such as the larvae and their host, the bat moth and other larvae (which hall sclerotia).

How Cordyceps sinensis is formed

In the middle of summer, in the plateau meadow above 3,000 meters above sea level, the adult bat moth with a small body flower will lay thousands of insect eggs on the ground, after about a month of hatching, the moth eggs will become small insects, and then burrow into the loose, moist soil, absorb the nutrients of plant rhizomes, and gradually raise the body to be white and fat.

In the soil, there is a spherical Cordyceps fungus ascospores, after the larvae of the Cordyceps bat moth are attacked by this spores, they will burrow into the shallow ground, the spores will grow in the larvae's body, the larvae's internal organs will disappear little by little, and finally the larva will die with the head up and tail down.

The insect body will also become a shell full of hyphae, buried in the soil, this is the so-called "winter plum recluse", after a whole winter, in the spring and summer of the following year, the hyphae will begin to grow again, from the head and mouth of the dead larvae will grow a purple-red grass, about 2-5cm high, the top is a pineapple-shaped cyst shell, this is the so-called "summer grass", the larval shell and the grass will form a complete "cordyceps".

Cordyceps sinensis technology term definition.

Chinese name: Cordyceps sinensis English name: plantworms; Entomophyte Definition:

The larvae of the bat moth are infected by the Cordyceps sinensis fungus, and after death, the corpse, tissues and hyphae form a hard pseudosclerotia, which remains unchanged in the low temperature and dry soil in winter for several months (Cordyceps), and when the temperature and humidity are suitable in summer, the rod-shaped fruiting body (ascomycetes) grows from the sclerotia and exposes the ground (Xenopus sinensis), which can be used as medicine.

How is "Cordyceps" formed? Is it a worm or a grass? 4 minutes a **!

Cordyceps sinensis is a fungus, not a worm or a grass, this fungus is called Cordyceps fungus, which is mainly parasitic in the larvae of bat moths, absorbing the nutrients of the larvae for growth and development.

Formation of Cordyceps: Cordyceps sinensis is a bat moth larvae buried deep in the soil, which is invaded by the Cordyceps sinensis fungus, which continuously absorbs nutrients from the larvae, causing the larvae to die due to the body full of hyphae. In the late spring and early summer of the following year, a small grass grows from the larval head and emerges from the ground, forming Cordyceps.

Cordyceps sinensis is not a cordyceps or a grass, it is a fungal and algae plant.

Cordyceps sinensis can generally refer to the following 5 standards:

First, the body is complete, plump and fat. Cordyceps sinensis resembles a silkworm. It is about 3 5 cm long and about cm thick.

The second is to observe the ring pattern. Cordyceps sinensis has rough and obvious rings, and the rings near the head are fine, with a total of 20 30 rings.

The third is yellow and bright on the outside and white on the inside. Cordyceps sinensis has a dark yellow or yellowish brown appearance.

Fourth, it is identified from the insect feet. Cordyceps sinensis has 8 pairs of feet on the whole body, 3 pairs near the head, 4 pairs in the middle, 1 pair in the tail, and 4 pairs in the middle are the most obvious. The fifth is to identify from the fruiting body of the head.

The fruiting body of the head of Cordyceps sinensis is dark brown, cylindrical, 4 8 cm long, thick cm, with fine longitudinal wrinkles on the surface.

Cordyceps sinensis is golden-yellow, pale yellow or yellow-brown, and is a complex of the sub-seat and larval carcasses of the fungus Cordyceps sinensis parasitic on the larvae of the bat moth family.

What exactly is Cordyceps? Animals or plants? After reading it, I sighed at the wonder of nature.

** Cordyceps sinensis is opened after sealing, and it smells relatively strong fishy, light grass and ru. In short, Cordyceps sinensis must have both "grass and insects" when it is used in medicine, and the medicinal properties are good. In the case of incomplete Cordyceps, there is only a worm body without a sub-seat, or only a sub-seat without a sub-body; They are all defective, and this is the most important point, so don't forget it.

When buying medicinal Cordyceps, you should choose one with normal color, good development, no diseases and pests, no defects, no deformities, good texture and dryness. These well-known domestic brands of Cordyceps brands, such as Fulinmen and Tongrentang's Cordyceps, all have the above characteristics. FLM is more affordable for household customers, while Tong Ren Tang is for business gifts, and the price is higher than the former.
