Paecilomyces cicadae, commonly known as Cordyceps sinensis, belongs to entomogenous fungi. Among more than 530 kinds of Cordyceps found all over the world, cicada and Cordyceps are only two of them. It is a wonderful creature with the morphological characteristics of "animal" and "plant". Roots are cicada larvae, and flowers grow from the heads of single or 2-3 cicada larvae, which are about one inch long and branch from the top. The milky yellow pollen, also known as "cicada spore powder" or "seed" for short, has reproductive function. Its formation process is that cicada larvae are infected and parasitized by cordyceps sinensis before emergence. When the climate and environment are suitable, the nutrients absorbed by insects are transformed into mycelium, and finally the insects are completely occupied by mycelium, leaving only one body. When everything recovers, the mycelium gradually transforms from vegetative stage to "cicada slough spore powder" with reproductive function in sexual stage, and gradually branches from the top to sprout into a flower shape, so it is called cicada flower. Among them, the quality of cicada flowers in Maoshan, Jiangsu Province and Lishui, Jiangsu Province is the best.
Studies at home and abroad show that cicada flower has multiple effects of improving immunity, resisting fatigue, protecting kidney, improving sleep, resisting tumor, protecting liver, resisting radiation and improving eyesight, and it is a magical ancient Chinese medicine. The cultured cicada flower contains mannitol 2. 18%, polysaccharide 2 1.73%, amino acid 19.76%, cordycepin 0.005% and adenosine 0.05%, which is similar to natural cordyceps sinensis, but no toxic heavy metals such as arsenic, mercury and lead are detected. Therefore, cicada flower can be used as a substitute for Cordyceps sinensis, and it can also achieve the function of nourishing and preserving health.
