　　Cordyceps Militaris is also known as Northern Winter Worm Summer Grass, Northern Cordyceps, or Golden Grass. It is a species of the Cordyceps genus. In winter, the larvae dwell in the soil, where fungi parasitize them, extracting nutrients until the larvae’s bodies are filled with mycelium and they die. By summer, shoots resembling grass grow from the larvae corpses and are harvested around the summer solstice. There are more than 350 known species of cordyceps worldwide, but the most expensive ones in China are only Winter Worm Summer Grass and Northern Cordyceps, with the latter being Cordyceps Militaris.

　　Winter Worm Summer Grass has long been hailed as a “miraculous herb,” but its supply mainly relies on wild resources. Due to the continuous destruction of its growing environment, the decline in worm sources, and excessive and premature human harvesting, wild resources have become increasingly scarce, making the supply of cordyceps herbs tighter and harder to meet market demand. As a result, attention has turned to Cordyceps Militaris. Not only does it possess unique nutritional value, but it also has significant medicinal benefits.
