They are kinda dank earthy funky ass dead cricket smelling, with an overall tone of putrification.

I received them as Cordyceps sinensis. At this moment i have no intention of growing them. I just have these three dead caterpillars and no culture.

Could you start them on live meal worms, or supper worms. Any info on how it's transfered in the wild?

There is plenty of info out there. But the thing is the way it infects its host is much like a virus. But then it colonises its host killing it, the host falls to the ground winters over and soposidly fruites in the spring. Dont quote me on this though.

Send me one of those and if I can get it cloned, I'll send you all the cultures you can grow. RR

I'd be very interested in getting my hand on a live culture of cordyceps sinensis. Somebody let me know if there are cultures to be had, I'm willing to compensate.

yes very interesting! the idea of cloning from dried mushrooms has also got me thinking of looking for some dried senesis... may be the only/cheapest way of getting a culture... has anyone ever tried this?
