Penicillium-mediated toxicity and microbial dysbiosis are associated with fruiting body abortion in artificially cultivated Chinese cordyceps
ABSTRACT Chinese cordyceps consists of fruiting body and sclerotia (larvae part) formed through the parasitism of the insect Hepialidae by the fungus Ophiocordyceps sinensis, but artificial cultivation is hindered by fruiting body abortion, severely impacting yield and quality. The interactions between the fungus, its...
