What is the difference between Cordyceps size

Here we would like to remind everyone that the size of Cordyceps has nothing to do with dryness or humidity, but is determined by the surrounding environment in which it grows. Many people can roughly tell where Cordyceps sinensis is produced by looking at its size.

Professionals usually use the word "parabolic" to describe it, because the parabolic is the hyphae in Cordyceps, and the hyphae is in a fluffy state. The larger the size, the lighter the parabolic. Generally speaking, under the same weight, Cordyceps sinensis with less aeration looks thinner and shriveled than Cordyceps sinensis with more aeration. Generally speaking, the larger the Cordyceps sinensis is, the fuller it is, and the lower the chance of shriveled grass appearing; the smaller the Cordyceps sinensis is, the less full it is, and the higher the proportion of shriveled grass appears. If the Cordyceps sinensis grows very full, it will not be deformed when you pinch it with your hands, and you can clearly feel that the body is very stiff. The more it deforms and the softer it feels, the less full the Cordyceps sinensis is.

Well-aerated Cordyceps sinensis usually performs quite well in other aspects of quality, such as color, length and thickness of the grass head, fullness of the insect body and smell.
