The real Cordyceps sinensis is wild and grows on the grass slope near the snow line above the alpine grassland shrub belt at an altitude of 3,000 to 5,000 meters, which requires high natural environment. In summer, put the eggs on the ground, hatch into larvae in a month or so, and then drill into the wet and soft soil. A mold in the soil invades the larvae and grows in the larvae. After a winter, when the next spring came, mold hyphae began to grow, and in summer, they grew out of the ground and looked like a grass. In this way, the body of the larva and the mycelium of the mold together form a complete "Cordyceps sinensis". Fungal spores feed on insect bodies and grow rapidly. The insect body is usually four to five centimeters, and fungal spores can grow to the length of the insect body in one day. At this time, Cordyceps sinensis is called "head grass". And "short handle" is one of the characteristics of the first period.
