Cordyceps sinensis is a kind of medicine name, and its appearance is particularly strange. Winter is a worm, and summer is grass. So how did it change from a bug to a grass? In summer, the spores of a fungus, Cordyceps sinensis, germinate into hyphae, which drill into the larvae of hepialus moth and absorb nutrients from the larvae. When bat moth larvae are hidden in the soil, many filaments, called mycelium, grow from Cordyceps sinensis. Because all the nutrients in the larvae are absorbed, only the dead shell is left, and of course it can't become a bat moth. In the spring and summer of the following year, the temperature and weather are suitable, and hyphae grow out of the larvae' mouthparts and extend out of the ground. The top is slightly enlarged and rod-shaped, with many small spherical spores on the surface. These spores can fly and spread in the air. I don't know how many moth larvae will become their living places in the grass.
