Absolutely. It's not that the shiny varnish is gone, it's just entirely covered in a mess of spore dust. Not as pretty, but it's worth the spore mess to get those nice conks I think!

Thanks for the details. What temps are you using for spawn, colonization, and fruiting?

Confertable household temperature for reishi...thermostat currently set on 76deg. 68deg for cordyceps

Do you keep at the same temp throughout, or do you lower temp for pinning/fruiting? I am also curious what you do for spawn and substrate for cordyceps. I have been really hesitant to try it. Is it a lot more difficult? I hear some people use riced potatoes and other methods.

I generally keep temp the same when running spawn or fruiting for the reishi.....same goes for the cordyceps
Substrate for cordyceps is brown rice supplemented with a nutrient broth of soy peptones, malt, gypsum, rock dust, and a few other things I can't remember off top of my head. If you can successfully produce and handle liquid cultures than you can most likely grow cordyceps as long as you don't burn them in direct sunlight like I did for a few of mine. ....lol Check out @terrestrialfungi on Instagram for details on broth and for cultures....its where I started and learned most of my technique

Thanks werdo. Good to know. I typically use liquid cultures, never had an issue. The substrate plus supplements sound fascinating. I will check it out.

Wow! That is a huge amount of fruits. You may have mentioned before, but what culture is that?

I will just dry these out powder and capsulize them up. I like to take cordyceps in the morning so that seams like the easiest way to do them on the go.

Extraction from 150g of cordyceps...used about 3.5L of vodka over multiple pulls at 90degs to help extract. I then used a double boiler system to evap the vodka at 110deg with a fan blowing over the top. I figure most of the alcohol has evaporated out so I added some everclear to be a preservative and it dropped a bunch of glucans im guessing out of solution. So I put back on double boiler to remove the everclear. I would like my final solution to contain 150ml so 1ml contains 1g of cordyceps. Thinking I might have to use vinegar to act as a preservative and to dilute to final quantitie as the alcohol didn't work. If anyone has any other interesting ideas I would love to hear them.

1 gram per 1ml seems reeeeeeeal thick to me, not sure it's going to be possible. Maybe for a simple, single chemical that's possible, but we're talking about an extract of multiple compounds with different solubilities here. You might have to lower that.
Of course that's just speculation on my part though

I appreciate your speculation!!! That is my ideal concentration just for ease of dosage and not having to consume much tincture but im ok with having to dilute more. I think I'm going to dilute with water instead of alcohol but I'm worried about the need for preservation so my tincture doesn't go bad.
