Abstract
There are some illnesses that cannot be healed by medicine. Plant worms have unlimited potential to
heal illnesses that cannot be cured by conventional medicine. Plant worms have been used as herbal
medicine since ancient times and it is possible for the development of new medicine, but a stable supply
would need to be made by artificial cultures. There are two types; anamorphs and teleomorphs, the latter
is formed by synthesizing two spores of anamorphs. Also, previous research suggests that teleomorphs
can be divided into anamorphs, which means we could develop a way to stabilize and sufficiently obtain
them.

Keywords: plant worms, teleomorphs, anamorphs
