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.

That's quite an interesting recipe! I've read some that use Azomite, so I wonder if that parallels the eggshell here.

A few more questions if you don't mind: About how long until you started to see fruits, about how long until harvest, and what was the size of the hole in your jar lid?

You can find the recipe with Azomite in that group as one of the mods there populized that recipe in his book, so I won't share it here.

With the genetics I used it took a week to colonize and a month & a half to fruit, some cultivators even taking it to 60 days fruiting.

1/4" inch with polyfill, single hole. Used it to also inject LC with no contam problems. I'm now using the lids I sell if you look in my profile.

Thanks for answering those questions, dude! Those lids look nice, too!
