We know that Cordyceps is a precious thing, and even the lowest-grade Cordyceps costs more than 2,000 yuan. Although Cordyceps is rare and precious, we are not very familiar with its true appearance. For this reason, let’s discuss what Cordyceps really is, and see if Cordyceps is grass or insect.

In fact, Cordyceps is a composite of Cordyceps sinensis and the larvae of the moth family. Cordyceps is also known as Cordyceps sinensis, Chinese Cordyceps, and Cordyceps. Cordyceps is a parasitic fungus of the genus Cordyceps in the order of Ascomycetes, which lives in the highland meadow soil, where it invades the larval remains of the bat moth, causing the body of the larva to solidify, and under suitable conditions, it grows a long杆-shaped stroma from the head of the僵虫 in summer.

Cordyceps is actually a composite of the fruiting body of Cordyceps sinensis and the larval remains of the moth. Cordyceps is a very precious traditional Chinese medicine, as Cordyceps has high requirements for the growth environment, so it is rare and precious. It is known that Cordyceps is mainly produced in the cold areas and grasslands of Qinghai, Tibet, Sichuan, Yunnan, Gansu, five provinces in China. However, the price of Cordyceps produced in different places is also different, and the difference is very big. The quality of Cordyceps from Nangqu and Changdu in Tibet and Yushu and Goluo in Qinghai is the best, and the price is also higher. Therefore, many illegal merchants like to counterfeit Cordyceps from these two places.
