2) Cordyceps militaris
Cordyceps militaris was first discovered in Jilin Province, China in 1958. The reason why it is named cordyceps militaris is that it was considered to be the same genus as cordyceps after identification. Cordyceps militaris is mainly produced in the provinces of Yunnan, Jilin, Liaoning and Inner Mongolia, and is born on the pupae of the lepidoptera living in the topsoil of coniferous forests, broad-leaved forests or mingled forests. Cordyceps militaris, which can be artificially cultivated in batches with the silkworm and tussah pupa, have the similar pharmaceutical and pharmacological effects to that of the wild species or better. In March 2009, cordyceps militaris was approved as a new food raw material. In May 2014, the intake amount, quality index and requirements and the scope of application of cordyceps militaris were changed in Announcement No. 10 of 2014 by NHFPC.
