Twenty-eight saturated and unsaturated fatty acids
and their derivatives have been isolated from
C. sinensis. Polar compounds of C. sinensis extracts
include many compounds of alcohols and
aldehydes.5 Particularly interesting are the range
of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons produced by
most C. sinensis strains as secondary metabolites.
These PAH compounds react with the polypropylene
used in common mushroom culture bags, resulting
in the production of byproducts toxic to C. sinensis
and stunting growth as time progresses. Eventually,
these polypropylene/PAH byproducts kill the organism.
For extended periods of growth, C. sinensis
must be grown in glass or metal containers.9 The
PAH compounds are present in the living culture,
but they are volatile compounds and are lost upon
drying. Although it is a generally true rule that
Cordyceps cannot be cultivated in polypropelyne
bags, new strains have been developed that produce
far lower quantities of PAH, making their cultivation
in plastic bags possible
