When Cordyceps is exposed to moisture, it will turn into a seedling, that is, the insect body will become a hollow shell and become flat after being pinched, but the quality of Cordyceps will be reduced. If you spray Cordyceps with white wine (250 ml of wine per kilogram), then spray water and fumigate with sulfur, it can keep the seedlings from rotting for several months. If Cordyceps is found to be damp, it should be exposed to the sun immediately. If there are insects, you can fumigate it with sulfur or bake it slightly with charcoal fire, and then sift out the pests and wood debris.

2. Expired Cordyceps sinensis needs to be carefully checked. If it has been expired for too long, it is not suitable for consumption.
