Growing cordyceps in mini monotubs (making a culture broth and inoculating the rice cakes). 

We are continuing our cordyceps journey and this time we'll be introducing our liquid cultured cordyceps to their very own mushroom rice cakes using a special broth formulated specifically for zombie loving fungus...aka cordyceps 🍄
If you want to grow your own cordyceps I recommend using a liquid culture from Terrestrial Fungi www.terrestrialfungi.com/
All of the ingredients that I used in this project can be obtained easily from local stores or websites. There are many versions of cordyceps culture broth recipes out there to discover and even more ways of growing cordyceps to learn. I hope I inspired you to find your own path down the mycology...fungus hole? 🍄
