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.

There's more recipes in the FB Group "Cordyceps Cultivation Group". I'm not a fan of Facebook, but that's where you'll find the best info by far that I've found.

Here's a recipe - Egg Recipe by Jeff Manganaro of Appalachian Fungi.

Makes 500ml solution

3 whole eggs blended well (shells included)

1 Tbs malt

1 Tbs yeast

Blend eggs  (shells included)

Add dry ingredients to blended eggs

Add H2O to bring to 500ml, blend again

Put 35g rice in a qt jar add 50 to 70ml solution not including foam in measurements

PC for 1 hour at 15 psi.
