Cordyceps Mushroom * 1
    #9756478 - 02/07/09 07:15 PM (15 years, 1 month ago)

Hi all,
    I was looking for some agar agar in my local Chinese market when I stumbled upon a jar of funny looking mushroom things. They turned out to be cordyceps mushrooms. They're still in the jar, growing on some sort of substrate (cant make it out). I was wondering whats going on, since they are supposedly rare and the cultures are jealously guarded. Also, is there any danger due to the parasitic nature of cordyceps? Lastly, what insect do you think this grows on, and can I propagate this strain without using insects? Ive seen a lot of teks using mealworms  :what: Thanks for replies!

It cost me around 45 cents due to a series of fortunate events. The cashier couldn't get the bar code to work, so he just typed in a random number, which came up as some cocktail mix measured by the lb. Needless to say, the jar wasn't very heavy, and it cost me pennies.

It's crazy how a species only attacks a certain insect naturally. :eek:

Each strain has its own preferred victim. Some attack ants, others attack larvae. The teks here on growing cordyceps are made by injecting the mealworms with the mycelium.

I did not know it could be grown. Do you eat or what why were they at the store?

Quote from drugs.com
Affects numerous human body systems, including the circulatory, respiratory, and immune systems, as well as the liver, kidneys, and sex organs. Cordyceps has been used as an adjuvant in cancer therapy.

Plastic lid w/ four pin holes. The stuff it's fruiting from is obscured by the mycelium and some weird discoloration (metabolites?). RR, come and save us from ignorance!
