There are now many companies culturing this fungi. As far as I have

seen o the market, they only grow it out to the mycelium stage (not

the mushroom/fruiting body) and then powder and/or extract the

mycelium. Some of these are standardized for various constituents

(like adenosine or cordycepic acid) and/or certified organic. In my

experience, some are much closer to the actions of the wild fungi than

others. Some seem almost inert. Some companies also test the mycelium

against the wild fungi to get the closest spikes of constituents. I

think the activity may partly have to do with the substrate they grow

it on (rice, duck byproducts, etc., ...). CS4 is a particular

researched strain produced by many companies. I've seen it vary in

activity from different sources. I think good brands help to narrow

things down but an herb like dong chong is active enough to taste test

for activity, and activities can vary from bottling to bottling for

various reasons. Gus Turpin

be able

to culture the cordyceps fungus commercially at a bulk price of about

$75 /

Are you talking about CS6 (i think that is the brand). I have been

using it works quite well
