Scientific name: Cordyceps Militaris
Substrate Preference:
Best Substrates: Rice, silkworm pupae, or insect-infused substrates.
Growing Conditions: Cordyceps prefers cooler temperatures around 18-20°C (64-68°F), with low light.
Cultivation Tips:
Incubation: Mycelium will colonize the substrate over 3-4 weeks.
Fruiting: Expose to indirect light and maintain high humidity (90%+). This species is sensitive to environmental changes, so consistency is key.
Harvesting: Harvest when the orange fruiting bodies reach around 5 cm in height.
