The growth environment and growth place of golden cicada flower (picture)

The growth environment and conditions of Cordyceps sinensis

Golden cicada flower likes a relatively warm environment and is mostly distributed in warm areas in southern my country. In addition, it mainly parasitizes on bamboo cicadas, so in bamboo producing areas, where there are more bamboo cicadas, golden cicada flower is more likely to produce. It is distributed in the area south of the Yangtze River, in provinces and cities such as Sichuan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian.

Growth conditions of golden cicada

Golden cicada flower likes a warm, humid and sunny environment. It can grow well in an environment with slightly higher humidity. Therefore, when planting it, it is generally chosen in warm and rainy areas.

Growth temperature of golden cicada

Cicada fungus likes a warm environment and is suitable for growing in an environment of 18-30 degrees. It can withstand high temperatures and can be maintained normally above 35 degrees in summer. It is not cold-resistant and is very afraid of frost. The maintenance temperature in winter needs to be above 15 degrees and not lower than 10 degrees.

Growth process of golden cicada

Cicadas lay eggs on tree branches, which hatch into cicada nymphs and then emerge as cicada adults. During this period, they will be infected by the spores of Paecilomyces cicadae, which will then grow more hyphae. The cicada nymphs will then die, leaving behind an empty shell. Afterwards, Paecilomyces cicadae will produce cicada flower fruiting bodies, also known as golden cicada flowers, from the top.

Planting time and method of golden cicada flower

In order to get golden cicada flowers, you need to feed cicadas. After a period of breeding, they will lay eggs naturally. The growth environment of golden cicada flowers is slightly higher temperature and high humidity, so that the cicadas can grow well and then grow mycelium. In spring, the golden cicada flowers will break through the soil. At this time, you must provide sufficient nutrients to make it grow better. It can be harvested after flowering.
