Cordyceps Militaris Extract

The sub-seated solitary or several together grow from the head or section of the parasitic pupa, the color is orange or orange, the length is 2-8 cm, the pupa color is purple, and the length is about 1.5-2 cm.

Cordyceps militaris: There are very few natural resources distributed worldwide. A complex composed of two parts: the sub-base (the grass part) and the sclerotium (the insect part). In winter, the larvae sting in the soil, where the fungus parasitizes and absorbs nutrients. The larvae are filled with hyphae and die. In summer, seedlings grow from the larvae, which resemble grasses and are collected around the summer solstice.

1. Mycelium

The hypha of Cordyceps militaris is a kind of ascomycete, and its asexual form is Paecilomyces pupa. After the fungus matures, it can form ascospores (reproductive units). After the spores are scattered, they spread with the wind, and the spores fall on suitable parasites and begin to germinate to form mycelium. While the mycelium continues to develop, it begins to spread into the worm's body, so the pupa will be infected by the fungus, decompose the tissues in the pupa body, and use the nutrients in the pupa body as the material and energy source for its growth and development. Completely decompose.

2. Fruit body

Generally, after the mycelium of Cordyceps militaris decomposes the various tissues and worms in the pupa, the development of the mycelium has entered a new stage. The mycelium begins to grow from vegetative growth to reproductive growth. After kinking, it protrudes from the head, chest, and near tail of the empty pupa, forming an orange or orange red top with a slightly enlarged rod-shaped sub seat ( Fruit body).

Variety introduction

It was discovered in Jilin Province in China in 1958. After identification, it is believed to be the same genus as Cordyceps sinensis and was named pupa grass. Mainly produced in Yunnan (Kunming, Anning, Jiangchuan), Jilin (Antu, Yongji), Liaoning (Shenyang), Inner Mongolia (Zhelimu League), born in needle, broad-leaved forest or mixed forest surface layer of lepidopteran insects On the pupa. Bombyx mori and tussah pupa can be cultivated in batches artificially, and the pharmacology is similar to or even better than that of wild species.

Compared with Cordyceps sinensis, Cordyceps militaris has several incomparable advantages:

One is that Cordyceps militaris is a model species of the genus Cordyceps, which is widely distributed and recognized and accepted by scholars from all over the world.

The second is that Cordyceps militaris has been bred into a complete pedestal under artificial conditions.

Third, Cordyceps militaris contains cordycepin and cordyceps polysaccharides, and its unique pharmacological effects have attracted increasing attention from the pharmaceutical industry. Due to the above advantages of Cordyceps militaris, it has become a leader in the Chinese medicinal Cordyceps fungus of the genus Cordyceps.
