In what season does Cordyceps sinensis usually grow?

Cordyceps sinensis generally grows in winter. It grows on grassy slopes near the snow line above the alpine grassland shrub belt at an altitude of 3,000 to 5,000 meters. In summer, insect eggs are laid on the ground. After about a month, they hatch into larvae and burrow into the moist and soft soil. A mold in the soil attacks the larvae and grows inside them. After a winter, when spring comes the next year, mold hyphae begin to grow, growing out of the ground by summer.
