Cordyceps sinensis, also known as Cordyceps sinensis or Cordyceps sinensis, is a precious traditional Chinese medicine. What actually is it?

Cordyceps sinensis, also known as cordyceps or cordyceps, is a precious traditional Chinese medicine. In fact, it is a combination of insects and fungi. Cordyceps is a big concept in biological classification. It is neither a bug nor a grass. After some worms are infected by fungi, they will grow a grass-like thing. The two are collectively called Cordyceps.

Cordyceps sinensis is a type of Cordyceps sinensis, a product of the larvae of bat moths and fungi belonging to the genus Clagotaceae. Cordyceps sinensis is just an ordinary Chinese medicinal material, and its medicinal effect is only applicable to various diseases caused by lung deficiency, kidney deficiency, or both lung and kidney deficiency.

Common sense about identifying Cordyceps sinensis.

1. Look at the shape of the grass. Cordyceps sinensis is shaped like a silkworm. It generally has only one "grass head". There are very few cordyceps with multiple branched "grass heads". The base of the "grass head" is thicker and the end is tapered. The length is 0.1 to 4 cm.

2. If you smell grass, the genuine product has a natural mushroom aroma or a slightly fishy smell, while the fake product generally has no smell.

3. Soak Cordyceps. Soak the true Cordyceps in boiling water. The insect body and the fungus base are closely connected and will not fall off. After soaking the pseudocordyceps in boiling water for 10 minutes, the pseudofungus base will begin to fall off and separate from the insect body.
