Originally, the dongchong xiacao in Chinese medicine included both the "summer grass" of the sporocarp and also the "winter bug" of the moth larva, whereas now only the former is being synthesized in the laboratory. In which case, is it really the same as the dongchong xiacao used in herbal medicines?
原本是連蟲帶草一起使用的冬蟲夏草，只取菌絲體，也就是只有草的部份來大量繁殖，那成效與天然的蟲草相同嗎？
