Is it best to eat Cordyceps sinensis in autumn and winter? Is the grass digger's cordyceps the first choice?
Cordyceps sinensis, also known as Cordyceps sinensis, is essentially a fungus-Cordyceps sinensis of ergotaceae. It is called "Cordyceps sinensis" because of its "growth" process. In order to reproduce, bat moths will lay eggs in the soil, and then the eggs will become larvae. Cordyceps sinensis will invade the larvae, absorb their nutrients, continue to reproduce, and make the larvae covered with hyphae and die. This is called "Cordyceps sinensis". The next summer, Cordyceps sinensis grows a purple grass with a height of 4 ~ 10 cm on the head of the larva, which is called "summer grass".

"

As early as 1757, it was recorded in Materia Medica from the Heart: "Cordyceps sinensis produced in Jiading, Sichuan is the best, followed by Yunnan and Guizhou. In winter, when I am in the soil, I live like an old silkworm, and I can move when I have hair. In summer, I will be covered with long hair and turn into grass. "

There is also: "Cordyceps sinensis is sweet, protecting the lungs and benefiting the kidneys, replenishing essence, stopping bleeding and resolving phlegm, and treating diaphragmatic diseases well." There is also a record in the "Examination of Medicinal Properties" that "it is dense and refined, and it is specially designed to fill the life door".

Because of its slow sexual balance, it can balance yin and yang, so Cordyceps sinensis is a traditional Chinese medicine that can balance and regulate yin and yang at the same time.

"
