High quality Cordyceps Sinensis online shopping? There are hundreds of different species of Cordyceps found all over the world. There are two main species, however, that are of interest for human consumption- Cordyceps sinensis and Cordyceps militaris. There is also an effective version of Cordyceps mycelium grown in large liquid vats known as CS-4 that is worth learning about. Cordyceps sinensis is the most well known species, famous for its powerful medicinal properties. When people use the term “Cordyceps” they are often referring to sinensis. It is commonly called the caterpillar fungus, due to the fact that is uses the insect as a host before eventually fruiting from its head. You can clearly see the caterpillar in images of harvested sinesis.
Cordyceps Sinensis is a wonderfully versatile mushroom, in terms of its many medicinal applications. Cordyceps Sinensis has been applied medicinally for over 2000 years by doctors in China. Western medicine has not always adequately taken Eastern/herbal/traditional medicine into account. The recent discovery of the power of Cordyceps Sinensis in the West is the reason for the explosion of popularity of the super mushroom.
Researchers have found that the mycelia of domestic Cordyceps sinensis varieties contain the same pharmacological components and medicinal properties as the original, wild Cordyceps. This also applies to (domestic) mycelia of Cordyceps militaris. Every year, in late June, licensed Bhutanese farmers will ascend the sacred mountains in the regions of Paro, Wangduephodrang, Gasa, Lhuntse, Trashigang, Trashiyangtse, and Bumthang in search of Cordyceps.

Cordyceps have been widely used in traditional chinese medicine (TCM) and some branches of herbalism for centuries. There are many health benefits associated with cordyceps. Cordyceps is a genus of parasitic fungi that attaches itself on insects and other arthropods as hosts. Each species of cordyceps typically infects a very specific bug. The genus has approximately 400 species that can be found worldwide. The most renowned Cordyceps species is cordyceps sinensis (currently officially known as ophiocordyceps sinensis) which infects the caterpillar of Hepialus moth. Cordyceps usually thrive at an altitude above 3800 meters in the mountainous Himalayan Plateau of Bhutan, India, Nepal, Tibet and Chinese provinces. In Tibet, cordyceps are known as Yarsamgumba or yartsa gunbu, in China, it is called literally winter worm and in Bhutan, it’s known as Yartsa Goenbub.
This year Cordyceps collection permits were issued to more than 900 collectors in Bumthang, of which most of them are people from the Chhoekhor Gewog. What is Cordyceps sinensis? Cordyceps sinensis, also known as Chinese caterpillar fungus, is a parasitic fungus found in Hepialus worms. During winter, the fungus spores enter the worm and develop its mycelium by absorbing the worm’s nutrients. The worm later died when fully filled with the fungus mycelium. Upon maturity in the summer, the fungus grows out of the worm’s head to a length of about 3 to 10 cm. Find additional details on this website.
