Golden cicada flower:
Paecilomyces cicadae is an entomogenous medicinal fungus, which is an insect-fungus complex formed by Paecilomyces cicadae parasitizing on Homoptera cicada nymphs. Its roots are cicada pupae or cicada larvae, and flowers grow from the heads of single or 2-3 cicada larvae, about one inch long, and bloom and branch from the top. Ascot seats are single or 2-3 bunches from the front end of the main body. Wild cicada infected with bitter bamboo cicada in Hengduan Mountain and Tianmu Mountain, also known as golden cicada or cicada grass. Cicada is an entomogenous medicinal fungus, and it is an insect-fungus complex formed by Paecilomyces cicadae parasitizing on cicada nymphs of Homoptera. The sex type of cicada flower is Cicadaceae, and there are few cicadas in nature, mainly paecilomyces cicadae parasitic fungus complex.
Its roots are cicada pupae or cicada larvae, and flowers grow from the heads of single or 2-3 cicada larvae, about one inch long, and bloom and branch from the top. Ascot seats are single or 2-3 bunches from the front end of the main body. It is 2.5-6 cm long, hollow, with a yellowish brown stalk, dark yellowish brown after drying, with a diameter of 1.5-4 mm, sometimes with sterile small branches, and its head is rod-shaped and yellowish brown, with a light rotten leaf color after drying, with a length of 7-28 mm and a diameter of 2-7 mm. Ascomycetes are embedded in Ascomycetes, and the orifice is slightly prominent and oval. It has multiple transverse partitions and then splits into single cell fragments with the size of 8-16 μ m×1-1.5 μ m.
Cicada nymphs were infected and parasitized by Paecilomyces cicadae spores before emergence. When the living conditions are suitable, hyphae begin to grow in large numbers and absorb the nutrition of the worms. After a certain period of time, cicada nymphs will die, and finally the insect's body is completely occupied by hyphae, leaving only an empty shell. When the climate is suitable, Paecilomyces cicadae changes from vegetative stage to reproductive stage, and gradually produces cicada fruiting body from the top of the whole mycelium. When the fruiting body matures, a large amount of spore powder grows on the surface, and the ground shape of Paecilomyces cicadae is often flower-shaped, so it is named cicada flower.
