The cordyceps are the SVP #13 from Ryan Paul Gates. It's wicked quick to grow. I think Khan had them in like under 40 days. I don't sell cultures at all but I could probably send you something. Potency I don't know anything really. I'm awaiting results from a few strains ATM though 

GregorOk thanks. Good to know.

For sure. Finding some sweet spots. Have you personally seen anything as far as commercial strains being better or worse in general as far as the quality for tinctures. I don't yet have money or a reason to be testing my stuff although some is being tested ATM by other people it's going to take me wicked long to figure, if anything, an Albino Cordycep is possibly stronger than say the Mound 4. I wonder how far across the board it is as is between strains and like even still they are subject to the environment. 

David Medlock It's probably a lot more of like test runs. We know they start on a dish. I've read to test dishes let it grow in the dark a couple days and if upon light introduction it either turns orange or not. I could absolutely have gotten that wrong too, I've not yet seen a dish- not turn yellow. Haven't put it on Agar much. There's a Vietnamese woman on usa cordys and she told me to preserve them "put it on jelly" (a cutting from a fruit) I took it as a slant. Cross breading is not my jam so I know Zero. Maybe a slant-test it on plates to LC/grow out small and if it's good go back to the slant. I would imagine it could survive. I have LC jars that still expanded themselves in the fridge but lasted viable since like the past autumn I think. My master syringes definitely last a few months. Sounds like cap n stem is doing some advanced/new stuff. The OM dude said Oats produced the highest quality cordys. I'm experimenting with like all kinds of shit ATM mostly nutrients and different grains. 

So Gregor, have you guys been dropping agar into grain bags?  I saw a picture of the capnstem cordyceps bag an it looked like little yellow bits. If so..... incredibly interesting
