Description
Our culture comes from a reliable source and has been recently tested for fruiting. We change our culture every three months to keep it at its most optimal stage. We advise expanding 10 ml to a maximum of 100 ml and not exceeding this ratio. Avoid storing the culture for extended periods; use it as soon as possible.
Cordyceps is one of the fastest-growing strains. Liquid culture becomes ready in about 3 days, with colonisation beginning within 4–5 days in brown rice substrate(First 5 days are colonised in dark) before bringing it into light.. Fruit maturity takes approximately 65 days. It is best grown at 20°C, and the growing room temperature should not exceed this at any stage.
Store cultured cells in the dark and refrigerate at 2°C. Use the culture within 3 months.
Approximately 400 g of fresh Cordyceps will dehydrate down to about 60 g.
Cordyceps militaris – Medicinal
Also known as the Zombie Mushroom.
Top-fruiting variety.

Keep the liquid culture away from light—store at 2°C.
Use our DLME Liquid culture mix to expand.
Use 6000-6500K Cool white for fruiting—maximum 1000 Lux, best at 800 Lux, minimum 500 Lux. Use a lux meter to test the amount of light it receives: 12/12 light schedule or 14 on, 10 off light schedule.
We offer High-Quality Disposable Gloves and Masks, essential for maintaining sterile conditions in your mycology projects. We also recommend you buy Biodegradable MEA agar cups for those testing liquid cultures or spore syringes before inoculating their bags. Do you need a sterile workspace?
