동충하초 사랑

한국의 동충하초 영문판을 출판하고 싶은 마음. 2018년 9월 3일. 9월 들어 첫 번째 주를 즐겁게 시작하여야 할 월요일입니다. 오늘 또 하루를 선물로 받았네요, 2014년 한국의 동충하초 영문판을 쓰겠다고 마음먹고 조금씩 조금씩 준비를 한 결과 많은 진전을 보아 조금만 손을 보면 세상에 내..

동충하초 균사와 포자를 현미경으로 보는 것처럼 나도 누가 보리라 본다. 2015년 1월 15일 요사이는 가물어서 눈이 기다려지는 목요일입니다. 오늘 또 하루를 선물로 받았네요. 요사이는 많은 시간을 현미경으로 성재모동충하초가 액체배지에서 어떻게 형성되고 자라는 모습을 관찰하였다...

한국의 동충하초 영문판을 원고를 쓰기를 다시 시작하였다. 2015년 1월 8일 새해 들어 두 번째 맞은 주말로 다시 한번 시간을 빠름을 인식할 수 있는 금요일입니다. 오늘 또 하루를 선물로 받았네요, 2014년 7월 5일 한국의 동충하초 영문판을 쓰겠다고 마음먹고 원고를 쓰려고 하니 눈이 침침..

3. Importance of Cordyceps The importance of Cordyceps species comes from its usage as either a fungal biocontrol agent (in either the sexual or conidial states of these fungi) and as herbal medicines (mostly in the sexual, Cordyceps state). The species used as herbal medicines are stromata and the mummified sclerotia in immature insect hosts. Ophiocordyceps sinensis the most common and widely ..

Cordyceps species invade the insects and utilize nutrients derived from the insects. They form a sclerotium inside the insect's cadaver and later, when the appropriate environmental conditions are present, form stromatic fruiting bodies projecting from the insect's body. Korea has four distinctive seasons annually, and Cordyceps stromata are usually found only from June through September, but m..

Fruiting bodies of insect-borne fungi form after the death of insects. Accordingly, they appear in habitats that support suitably dense populations of the host insects. In general, most Cordyceps species form their stromata on affected insects in the soil, and the upper, fertile portions of the stromata emerge above ground to allow spore dispersal. The insects affected by fungi that behave in s..

In general, since fruiting bodies produced by Cordyceps species are relatively large fleshy fungi, it is assumed that the environment required for their development would be similar to mushrooms and other fleshy fungi not associated with insects. The most obvious difference between entomopathogenic and other fungi in terms of the ease with which they may be collected is in the extreme localizat..

These fungi may occur on insects in any type of soil. The ascospores or conidia of these species invade living insects’ body through the cuticle or possibly through a spiracle during spring, summer or fall. Curiously, it is extremely rare for insect-pathogenic fungi to infect their hosts through the gut after the ingestion of spores. Spores form a germ tube that penetrates into the insect's b..

The name term 'insect-born fungi' as applied here to the species of Cordyceps originates from the fact that these fungi develop in an insect's body during one summer, remain dormant throughout the winter and then form a plant-like fruiting body during the following spring or summer. These fungi invade insects, kill them, use the nutrients from the host body, and then later form fruiting bodies...

I had an unforgettable first confrontation with Cordyceps species in July 1984. Many of these fungi do bear some resemblances to mushrooms except for having life histories that may be even more complex than those of many other fungi. Cordyceps species infect and kill their hosts during summer or spring but do not produce their sexual fruiting bodies until the following year. The dead insects ga..
