Cordyceps sinensis

There are substantial differences between cicada fungus and cordyceps. Cicada fungus is not a bacterial body formed by the parasitism of Cordyceps sinensis, but a complex of spore stalks and insect bodies that grow from the parasitic bacteria of the ergot family Cicadae sinensis on the larvae of the Cicadidae insect cicada (also known as cicada monkey). So, what is the difference between Cordyceps sinensis and Cordyceps sinensis? Let's have a simple understanding of this issue. I hope the following points will be helpful to everyone!

Synonyms

Insect flower (Sichuan), cicada grass. Appearance of cicada fungus: The body of cicada fungus is white or yellowish when fresh, with a large and thick head, rod-shaped, white tip, and dark brown after drying, about 1-1.5 cm long. Most of the insect bodies are coiled by gray-white fungi. The fungi on the insect body are relatively developed and are inseparably clustered together to produce spores. The fungus is oblong in shape, 3 cm long and 1-1.4 cm thick. The fruiting body grows in the yellow-brown fungus, extending from the head of the insect body out of the soil layer. The stroma are scattered, many-branched, usually 3-4 in number, and antler-shaped. Some of the stroma are rod-shaped, about 4-10 cm long. The stipe is long and slender, erect, or curved. After the insect body is broken, it can be seen that the insect body is filled with light pink or milky white soft substance with a slight fragrance. The difference between it and Cordyceps is that the body of cicada fungus is soft and not firm enough. The taste is not as fishy as Cordyceps.
