"Winter is insects, summer is grass, and cordyceps sinensis is a treasure. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "Cordyceps sinensis is referred to as Cordyceps, which is a fungus parasitic in the body of Cordyceps moth larvae in winter and develops in summer. Hence the name Cordyceps.

In terms of appearance, the Cordyceps sinensis insect body is golden-yellow, pale yellow or yellow-brown, and is also known as "golden grass" because of its high price. Because of its high medicinal value and good efficacy, it is regarded as a treasure at home and abroad, and the market demand is large, but because of its scarcity of natural resources, the price is very expensive.

Is Cordyceps sinensis a worm or a grass? Wang Hongsheng, an associate researcher at the Academy of Animal Husbandry of Qinghai University and who has been engaged in research on the artificial cultivation of Cordyceps sinensis for many years, said that judging from its formation process. Generally speaking, it is that many species of bat moths in the bat family are to reproduce, lay eggs in the soil, and the eggs are transformed into larvae, before and after, Cordyceps sinensis fungus invades the larvae, absorbs the substances in the larvae as nutritional conditions for survival, and continues to reproduce in the larvae, causing the larvae to be full of hyphae, and when the weather warms up from May to July of the following year, yellow or light brown mycelium grows from the larval head, and after growth, the ground emerges in the shape of grass stalks, forming the Cordyceps sinensis that we usually see. Therefore, although it has the appearance of both insects and grasses, it is neither insects nor grasses, and belongs to fungi and algae.

There are several points that must be paid attention to when buying Cordyceps: First, you need to have some common sense, know how to identify Cordyceps, observe their color and dustiness, and see if the Cordyceps meets our requirements. Second, when consumers are not sure whether they can correctly identify the real and fake cordyceps, it is a better choice to buy a high-quality brand of Fulinmen cordyceps. Third, they do not know how to identify the customer's choice of Alipay to guarantee the transaction and inspect the payment. This will allow you plenty of time to find someone knowledgeable to identify Cordyceps. After purchasing Cordyceps Sinensis through Alipay's third-party payment guarantee tool, go to a nearby pharmacy or find an acquaintance who understands Cordyceps Sinensis to inspect and confirm the authenticity of the goods before making payment, so as to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
