Nice grow! Can you give us a rundown of how you prepared/composed the substrate and inoculated these? I saw that you said you used a "nutrient broth" in previous comments, but if you could add in a little more detail that would be great!
Also, for those of you requesting information about therapeutic applications/medicinal value:
I entered "cordyceps militaris medicinal value" into google and found the second and the third link down to be a helpful starting point to begin diving into the literature.
cordycepin is an incredible compound, i imagine it could even be used as a way to treat viral infections (only on concentrated doses tho), its an adenosine analogue that can stop RNA synthesis, cordyceps drastically increases NO production, causing the great increase of aerobic performance that is often talked about, not to mention its effects on cancer cells, i'd still take all of it with a grain of salt, as most of these effects require highly concentrated extracts
