How to use:

1. Shake Before Use
   Gently shake the syringe to evenly distribute the mycelium throughout the liquid.

2. Work Sterile
   Ensure a clean work environment. Use a still air box or laminar flow hood, and sanitize all surfaces, tools, and gloves with 70% isopropyl alcohol.

3. Inoculate Substrate
   Inject 1–2 ml of liquid culture into your chosen sterile substrate—typically sterilized brown rice or a supplemented rice mix works best. Use a sterile needle and self-healing injection port if possible.

4. Incubate
   Store your jars in the dark at 18–22°C (64–72°F). Cordyceps grows more slowly than other species—colonization may take 2–4 weeks. Be patient and avoid disturbing the jars during this period.

5. Introduce to Fruiting Conditions
   Once fully colonized, move the jars to a fruiting chamber with high humidity and gentle lighting (12-hour light/dark cycle). Fruiting typically begins within 7–14 days under the right conditions.

Store under 5°C. Refrigerate.
