What is Cordyceps Sinensis?

Cordyceps sinensis is a fungus of the family Clavicipitaceae. It is a composite of the fruiting body and the dead larva of the ghost moth (Thitarodes armoricanus), an insect of the Hepialidae family, on which the cordyceps parasitic fungus grows. Cordyceps is a symbiosis of fungus and insect, where an ascomycete fungus infects a lepidopteran larva, burrowing into loose soil. The following spring, a rod-shaped "grass" grows from the anterior end of the insect's body, emerging from the ground. Cordyceps sinensis consists of the insect body and the fungal fruiting body growing from its head. The best quality cordyceps have a bright yellow insect body, are plump and large, have a yellowish-white cross-section, and a short fruiting body.
