冬虫夏草,又名夏草冬虫、虫草或冬虫草。顾名思义,它冬天是虫,夏天是草。看它的样子,像一条虫儿,所以,有人以为它是动物,实际上它是一种低等植物,和酵母菌、蘑菇、木耳、灵芝等一样,都是一种真菌。真菌不含叶绿素,没有根、茎、叶,过着异养寄生或腐生生活。真菌不开花,也不结果,依靠孢子囊里的孢子繁殖,传种接代。 按照一般常识,都是动物吃植物的,而冬虫夏草这种植物,却是“吃”动物的。植物没有嘴,怎么吃法?说来有趣,在秋风扫落叶的季节,天气渐渐地冷了,鳞翅类昆虫的幼虫(如尺蠖等),想躲藏在土壤里安全过冬,哪知身上已粘附了冬虫 Cordyceps, also known as summer grass Cordyceps, Cordyceps or Cordyceps. As the name suggests, it is a winter pest, the summer is grass. Looks like it looks like a worm, so some people think it is an animal, in fact it is a lower plant, and yeast, mushrooms, fungus, Ganoderma lucidum, etc., are all a fungus. Fungus does not contain chlorophyll, no roots, stems, leaves, living heterotrophic parasitic or saprophytic life. Fungus does not flowering, nor result, relying on the spore capsule in the spore breeding, seed transfer. According to common sense, all animals eat plants, and Cordyceps sinensis is a plant that “ate” animals. Plants have no mouth, how to eat? Funny to say, in the autumn wind swept deciduous season, the weather is getting cold, lepidopteran insects larvae (such as scallops, etc.), want to hide in the soil safe winter, I realized that the body has been sticky Attached to the winter worm
