• Cordyceps militaris
  Cordyceps militaris
  Cordyceps militaris has quickly become one of the most highly sought-after mushroom varieties on the market, their trade value far surpassing even the street price of illegal magic mushrooms. This is due primarily to their high concentrations of cordycepin, a biochemical compound which has powerful stimulant effects, but with a far less troublesome side-effect profile than other stimulants like caffeine and amphetamines. Cordyceps are typically grown on a combination of rice, mealworms and/or silkworm pupae. They produce brilliant, orange club-like fruiting bodies which can be dried and sold as-is or made into tea. For more information about Cordyceps cultivation, see the Cordyceps Cultivation Handbook by William Padilla Brown.
