@AspiePilo82 so sorry, one day we will have a very expensive cam that goes in, and is not blurry. for now please take our word for it. I will start posting pics on our website, and let you know when they are up.

can all cordyceps be eaten?

and can they be home grown ?

[sporeprints]

All can be eaten, however have different chemical properties. Some strengthen the immune system, others weaken it (ciclosporin).

Very difficult to colonize the appropriate host, better to cultivate the mycelium and make extracts from colonized grain......tc

@sporeprints bud, theres no need to buy fancy equipment. Just raise your hand close to the camera lens so we can see the cordyceps more clearly

@otacon451 we find them in the wild once in a while, I don't really have any advice on how to find them, try moist and mossy areas, I find them there the most. Don't forget the host they are growing on. Good luck

[otacon451]

any advice on hunting these? from what ive gathered theyre pretty rare. ive done a bit of reading on shroomery and i really hope to cultivate these in the coming months..

"It's a pupae. Very beautiful." - "There's a little moth larvae.."

Why is he using the plural form on singular things?!?

One Pupa. Two Pupae. One Larva. Two Larvae.
