Cordyceps sinensis growth environment conditions and characteristics

Cordyceps sinensis growth environment conditions and requirements

Cordyceps sinensis is a complex of larval corpses and fungi. It has great medicinal value. It generally grows at altitudes of 3,000 to 5,000 meters. It is produced more in Sichuan, Yunnan and Gansu. It generally likes low temperature environments.

Cordyceps growth temperature

Cordyceps sinensis has strict requirements on the temperature of the environment. Generally, temperatures that are too high or too low will affect the growth of Cordyceps sinensis. It will begin to germinate when the temperature is higher than 5 degrees Celsius. Generally, the most suitable growth temperature for Cordyceps sinensis is around 15 degrees.

Cordyceps growth humidity

Cordyceps sinensis likes a humid environment. Generally, when cultivating, the air humidity of the environment needs to reach 80-90%, and the humidity of the soil needs to be around 50%. Generally, as long as the temperature is relatively low and the temperature difference is relatively large, it is more conducive to the growth of Cordyceps sinensis.

Cordyceps growing soil

Cordyceps sinensis will grow on the corpses of bat moth larvae. Generally, after the larvae die, Cordyceps sinensis will begin to reproduce. It is usually more suitable to cultivate Cordyceps sinensis on meadow soil, grass felt soil or black felt soil.
