- Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To establish the macroscopic and microscopic identification method for Cordyceps Feturae. METHODS: By using stereomicroscopy and optical microscopy, introducing the professional terms of entomology and mycology, and combining the macroscopic and microscopic fetures of caterpillar part and stroma part, the samples of Cordyceps Feturae were observed and recorded, and compared with wild Cordyceps sinensis products, and the counterfeits-Cordyceps hawksii and Cordyceps taii. RESULTS: There was a slight difference in the morphological characteristics between Cordyceps Feturae and wild Cordyceps sinensis, but there was a significant difference between Cordyceps Feturae and the counterfeits. CONCLUSION: The macroscopic and microscopic identification method can be used for identification of Cordyceps Feturae, wild Cordyceps sinensis and the counterfeits.
