Myco Labs | Cordyceps Militaris Mushroom Liquid Culture Syringe (10cc)

Cordyceps militaris stands out as a distinctive mushroom species known for its unique parasitic relationship with insects. This fungus develops small mushroom-like fruiting bodies, typically measuring 1 to 2 inches, featuring vibrant orange caps. The cultivation of Cordyceps militaris indoors is feasible with appropriate substrates.

Given its natural inclination to consume insects, researchers have explored various non-insect substrates for cultivation, such as beans, lentils, quinoa, and rice. Among these options, rice has emerged as the most successful substrate, consistently delivering abundant yields. Both white and brown rice serve as excellent choices for cultivating this particular mushroom species.
