The body section should be plump, yellowish, complete with eight pairs of legs, while the fungi section should be intact.

Cordyceps has possible anti-cancer properties. Researchers at the University of Nottingham found that cordycepin, a compound extracted from Cordyceps, effectively stopped the growth of several types of cancers.

At low doses, Cordycepin interfered with the production of proteins required for cell multiplication and tumour growth. At higher doses, Cordycepin directly induced cell death.

 

SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH:

A scientific report published on 22nd of November 2016 by the State Key Laboratory of Quality Research in Chinese Medicine, the Institute of Chinese Medical Sciences, and the University of Macau – “Cordyceps collected from Bhutan, an appropriate alternative of Cordyceps sinensis.”

Identification of Bhutanese Cordyceps via morphological characteristics of Bhutanese Cordyceps compared to Natural Cordyceps Sinesis were similar, but the distinct difference lies in their eyes

According to GenBank NCBI nucleotide database, ITS sequence of Bhutanese Cordyceps was 99% homologous to that of C. sinensis. Confirming the fungus in Bhutanese Cordyceps as C. sinensis.

The mitochondrial results of the COI and Cytb sequences in host insect of Bhutanese Cordyceps suggested that species of host insect of Bhutanese Cordyceps belonged to Hepialidae sp, which was per those of Cordyceps Sinensis.
