Brief profile:
The Cordyceps mushroom got its German name "Chinesischer Raupenpilz" from its origin in the Tibetan uplands, in addition to areas in China and India, where it has a highly unusual breeding ground. Before winter falls, the mushroom infects a certain type of caterpillar underground, which it kills and uses as nourishment. At the start of spring, it emerges with a club-shaped brown fruiting body, which reaches only about 5-15 cm in height. Due to its high demand and popularity, especially in TCM and Tibetan folk medicine, Cordyceps sinensis is currently the most expensive mushroom.
The components of Cordyceps sinensis include not only vitamins, trace elements and essential amino acids, but also cordycepin, ergosterol, ophicordin, galactomannan, and L-tryptophan. The mushroom also contains specific polysaccharides and glycoproteins.
