Cordiceps (Cordiceps). This mushroom has a unique development cycle. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that it begins its development cycle in the body of a caterpillar of the species Hepialus armoricanus ("Bat")
Chinese mushroom Cordyceps is called "Xia Dong Chong Cao", which means "winter insect, grass summer-" - this is due to an unusual development cycle of the fungus.
Up to a point the fungus Cordyceps Behaves quite calmly, until he feels the approach of the caterpillar, even at a distance of several tens of meters. When moving, he throws away his spores, which are glued to the body of the caterpillar with suction cups. Soon, spores are introduced into living tissue. The caterpillar does not feel any signs of infection until she wants to burrow in the ground in the winter in the hope of becoming a doll by the spring. At this stage, the fungus begins to act, germinating in the body of the caterpillar and sucking out all the nutrients from it. Naturally, the caterpillar dies, completely filling the fungal mycelium. In summer, the fruit body of Cordyceps appears on the surface, and the mycelium itself is located in the preserved body of the caterpillar. For medicinal purposes, both the fungus and the body of the caterpillar are used.
Dark brown body of the fungus, rushing up on 4-11 see forms claviform bending and thickening at the base diameter 3-4 mm. The fungus has a pleasant smell and taste sweet.
Dimensions caterpillars reach 3-5 0,5 cm cm in diameter, its golden yellow cover has numerous transverse stripes, the inside is white or pale yellow. Quality Cordyceps has a long fruiting body on a large caterpillar.
