Cordyceps Knowledge | How is Cordyceps sinensis formed?

There is an insect called the bat moth in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau at an altitude of over 3,000 meters.



It flew and flew and flew, and when summer came, it laid many eggs underground.

Then, after about a month, the eggs hatch into many larvae.

The larvae then burrow into moist, loose soil, feeding on the nutrients from plant roots and stems, gradually growing into plump, white creatures.
It just kept crawling and crawling in the soil.
Until one day, this "idiot" was infected by a fungus in the soil called Cordyceps sinensis, whose Cordyceps fungal ascospores parasitized the larvae of the ghost moth.

It still stubbornly climbs and climbs, striving upwards, while spores grow inside the larva. The larva's internal organs gradually disappear until winter, when it dies head up and tail down. At this time, the insect's body becomes a shell filled with mycelium, buried in the soil, and this is the "winter worm".

After a winter, in the spring and summer of the following year, the mycelium begins to grow again, and a small purplish-red grass, 2-5 cm tall, grows from the mouth or head of the dead larva. The top of the grass has a pineapple-shaped capsule. This is called "summer grass".

In this way, the larva's exoskeleton and the sprouting grass together form a complete "Cordyceps sinensis".
