In the winter, the cordyceps spores infect on worms, the infected worms will die and they cordyceps spores will grow up and develop by absorbing the nutrients from the worm's body. In the summer, when the temperature warms up, the cordyceps fungus will emerge out of the ground and transform into the fruit form. Therefore, the cordyceps is called as "Winter Worm - Summer Grass".
