Research progress on chemical constituents and pharmacological activities of two types of mycelium from Cordyceps powder / 中草药

ABSTRACT

Cordyceps powder is the mycelium obtained by fermentation, and the mycelium is separated from fresh Chinese Cordyceps. Due to its pharmacological activities, it has come to the foreground in recent years. It is found that there were significant differences in the chemical constituents and pharmacological activities of Hirsutella sinensis and Paeceilomyces hepiali from Cordyceps powder. Based on a detailed and objective analysis for the published literatures on the research progress of the two types of mycelium, it could provide the reference for the further studies and development of Cordyceps powder.
