Description
This Cordyceps militaris mushroom grow kit is an original product from Rootlab – this is the first of its kind in Australia! Grow cordyceps militaris mushrooms at your own home. Please go through our blog for a step-by-step guide and watch the instructional video.
These mushrooms are known to be parasitic, mainly infesting insects, but experts have found a way to grow them safely on vegan substrate.
People most commonly use cordyceps for athletic performance, kidney and liver health, and to alleviate sexual problems, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses.
The cultivation of Cordyceps became legal in Australia relatively recently, and we are here to help you grow them.
Growing Kits are the easiest, funniest, and best way to get started on Mycology World. If you are interested in growing other mushrooms, check out our Mushroom Growing Kit, choose your favorite mushroom, and learn how to do it. Have Fun!!
