Growth habits of golden cicada

The cicada flower is a special combination of insects and fungi. In autumn, the cicada lays eggs and gradually turns into silkworm pupae. Before it emerges from its shell, it is parasitized by a cordyceps fungus. When the living conditions are suitable, the cordyceps fungus that parasitizes it begins to absorb the nutrients of the insect's body until only a shell is left of the insect.

Where does the golden cicada flower like to grow?

The origin of golden cicada flower is the Hengduan Mountains and the Tianmu Mountains. At that time, the original bamboo forest had not been polluted or destroyed, thus protecting the reproduction of golden cicada flower, which is why golden cicada flower can continue to exist today.

Most of the cicada flowers are distributed in Sichuan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and other regions in China. Since bamboo cicadas like to lay eggs in bamboo producing areas, the old nymphs that live in the soil all year round are most likely to be parasitized by the fungus.

The growth environment and conditions of Cordyceps sinensis

1. Growth area: Because cicadas grow best in an environment with sufficient light, high temperature and humidity, the planting of cicada flowers is chosen in rainy and warm areas. 2. Climate and temperature: When cicada flowers grow, the temperature needs to be maintained at around 18-24℃, and the humidity in the air generally needs to be greater than 80%. Such a warm and humid environment can promote the healthy growth of cicada flowers.
