The regional names of this fungus aredong chong xia cao in China and yatsa gunbu in Tibet. While in the western countries, this particular fungus is known as medicinal mushroom.
It is possible to cultivate medicinal mushroom in the laboratory under controlled conditions. Thus, mass scale production of cordyceps extract powder and capsules is possible for therapeutic applications. Grown in grains and/or liquid media, this cultivated fungus is a pure version of the wild fungus.
