The herb. Cordyceps militaris (Cordycipitaceae family) is a bright orange, finger-shaped fungus that grows from insect pupae and can be cultivated in whole form. Its wild cousin Cordyceps sinensis is the species of ancient tonic broths, but militaris has its own centuries of Chinese use and carries more cordycepin, alongside adenosine, beta-glucans and sterols.

What's in it. Unprocessed whole mushroom, not a standardized extract, so no cordycepin or adenosine percentage is claimed. You have the full natural profile: cordycepin and adenosine, beta-glucans, and the carotenoid pigments that make the clubs orange.

Dosage and use. Start with a few clubs simmered gently in water or broth, in the morning or before activity, and wait through the day, since Cordyceps is gradual. A modest, consistent daily amount over weeks is the traditional pattern. Simmered clubs can be eaten or strained out; count any Cordyceps powder or resin you also use.

What to expect. A mild, savory, slightly sweet flavor that makes a pleasant broth, with a clean, even sense of stamina and warmth. For a stronger, ready-measured format see our Cordyceps Extract Resin, or for cooking with it daily, our Cordyceps Lion's Mane Seasoning.

Side effects. Whole Cordyceps is gentle for most, though some notice mild digestive upset when starting, especially from a large serving on an empty stomach. Reduce the amount or take it with food, and stop if it continues. Not for anyone with a mushroom allergy.

Interactions and cautions.

• Cordyceps may slow blood clotting, so consult a professional if you take blood-thinning medication, and stop before surgery as directed
• Consult a professional if pregnant, nursing, or on any medication

Ingredients and storage. Whole dried Cordyceps fruiting body (Cordyceps militaris), nothing added. Store sealed in a cool, dry, dark place; the dried clubs keep well as long as they stay dry.

Common questions
