Cordyceps Yield Boost

Cordyceps Yield Boost

Cordyceps mushroom (Cordyceps militaris) grew very differently depending on the grain substrate used during cultivation. Brown rice produced the highest fruiting body yield (~9.5 g per bottle) compared with wheat (~8.1 g) and millet (~7.4 g) under the same conditions. In liquid culture, optimized broth media also increased mycelial biomass production, showing that substrate choice can significantly improve cordyceps yield during cultivation.
