How is Cordyceps sinensis formed?

Cordyceps sinensis is a combination of insects and fungi. The insect is the larva of Cordyceps sinensis bat moth and the bacteria is Cordyceps fungus. At the height of summer, on the snow-capped mountains and meadows above 3800 meters above sea level, the small bat moths leave tens of thousands of eggs on the flowers and leaves. Then the moth eggs turn into worms, drill into the moist and loose soil, absorb the nutrients of the plant roots, and gradually make the body white and fat. At this time, the spherical ascospores encounter the caterpillar fungus bat moth larvae, then drill into the interior of the insect body, absorb its nutrients, and germinate the hyphae. The larvae infected by fungi gradually wriggle to two to three centimeters from the surface and die above the head and tail. This is the "winter worm." Although the larvae are dead, the fungi in the body grow day by day until they fill the whole insect body. in late spring and early summer, a purplish-red grass grows on the head of the worm, which is about two to five centimeters high, with a pineapple-shaped capsule at the top. This is "summer grass."
