Im I Biotechnology right now for Laboratory technician. At 35 after being a high-school drop out and a heroin addict for 12 years now 5 years naturally sober. Yes fungi is definitely part of it.
Thank you William for continually sharing your knowledge through your learning process with cordyceps!! A lot of people prefer to keep their secrets but there’s something so genuine about you sharing your growing and breeding techniques. For free. How much time you put into sharing info really shows how much you care about the advancement of cordyceps cultivation and research.
Thank you for getting into just the right amount if science to keep the message rolling but also satiate the bases need to understand the practical bits while whetting the appetite to nerd out later, like the stroma stuff, chef's kiss, just perfect!
Letssssss go will is one of if not the best cordyceps grower in the world, the man has tweaked and honed in on his craft ultimately acheiving a level of skill and knowledge unmatched in the industry
You make me so approachable! I have been really wanting to grow these mushrooms and have been afraid of failure but you have give me the confidence to go for it.
As someone who's getting into the mycology industry I gotta say there are plenty of pressure cookers that hit 15 psi for only a slight increase in price than a 10psi cooker. Do yourself a favor and don't throw away money on one that won't hit 15. You're just going to upgrade as soon as you get your first contamination anyway so spend the extra 20-50 and save a hundred or more
Finally, the good guys channel! This is very educational. Thank you, this relaxed me quite a bit. I wonder what made you invent such a complex mix for a substrate. Most of this is easily acquired and/or even fun to obtain (i.e the coconutmilk).
Wow I’ve seen them Growing wild in the Himalayas Thankyou so much for this share And beyond any word so grateful to find out as I embark on my own journey Om om
I found a lot of different shirts that have the mushrooms on it but just wanted to say I love the show I have learnt a decent amount of information and a small amount of time . Keep up the good work love the information going to check it out some of your other sites too
When I was 15 I was into growing magic mushrooms. Im not blaming them but 10 years and many addiction problems later, im happy to say im completely sober for 15 months, and this seems to be a fun hobby to pick up! Im thinking about trying it out! Thanks for the video.
Great video, William! Lots of solid info here and your passion for what you do shines through. I may have missed it but for those of us who do have at least some experience with other mycoculture, do you have a preference or notice any significant difference between jars and bins? I've always loved watching cordyceps grow but have never pulled the trigger on it myself. I think this might just be the push I needed to give it a go. Thanks for sharing so much info!
Good questions that we unfortunately aren't equipped to answer. William won't be monitoring this thread, so I suggest asking these questions to him directly via social media.
Thank you so much for this video, Will! I have your cordycep handbook and love. I have stumbled upon cordyceps one time foraging in Alaska and I was so elated. I have yet to cultivate my own but after this vid I'm inspired and motivated to do it. So thank you again! ALSO, how does one get to work with you some day? Haha Respectfully, Cameron
this deep dive on this is crazy i love how open this scene is just like the chemical scene it would be amazing if we would do this with other things too
Oh hey it's the mushroom genius i saw on Vice! Good work man and thanx I wanna grow cordyceps and make tinctures Its weird to see the difference in substrate and method of growing compared to almost all other medicinal and gourmet mushrooms Very peculier mushroom , probably because it actually grows on insects when growing outdoors Btw what would happen if you would add al those nutrients to an Oyster substrate? Bigger yields and/or faster colonisation?
Thank you so much for your kindness to sharing your knowledge with us. I always love to see the results of people growing cordyceps and hope one day that I able to grow once but never have my gut to try it and now I watch your videos, it really push me to try it. One question for you that what is the liquid culture recipe to inject the spores into to make multiple liquid cultures for the future use? Thank you so much
Thank you. I take Paul's cordyceps because I've never found them in the wild. I live in Wisconsin. Maybe it's the no mountain thing, though we do have major driftless areas.
I admired your clear way this my first time to understand your way in making mushroom growing way but all times I make and try to grow any kind of mushroom all times I failed and failed I amupset
Reach out to us at info@northspore.com and we'll get you set up with materials and mushrooms that you can 100% succeed with. You'll graduate from there.
This is the only vid I’ve ever seen growing Cordyceps in a mono tub. I’m tempted to try it now but keeping it at that low temp might be a challenge where I live unless I can put it in a mini fridge.
thanks for making this vid, William. Much appreciated!! I’m trying to source some of these products to get started, and would appreciate some clarification. re: the Magnesium Sulfate - is that just plain old Epsom Salt you can find at the grocery store or pharmacy?
What a great Video. Just stumbled across this as I looked for information about cordysept cultivation. William made it interesting, fun and informative and he shares the recipe! Well done, thank you 👍
Thanks for the detailed video and hard work you do. I'm just wondering how come to grow in jars we need at least 10 psi for 45 minutes, but in the ben, just instabot cooking rice is enough? Basically, are we missing on sanitation when we grow in a ben?
So i use both modded and un-modded monotubs with and without the clips on the sides and for both i put a 1/2 lb to 1lb weight on top of each tub to hold the lid down and for me it helps maintain the humidity and prevents pests such as fungus or fruit gnats from entering in the tubs i used to tape the lids down but i no longer do this just add a weight in the center of the lid after putting it on the tub
Thank you for your excellent presentation. I love your presentation. I have a question from your presentation, about how to inoculate Bins, "AFTER MIXING 855 GRAM OF RICE WITH 1 LITER OF BROTH TO THE INSTAPOT" SHOULD COOK FIRST BEFORE INOCULATING LIQUID CULTURE IN THE POT?
First off, much respect to William & Northspore, I often reccommend your products and information in discussions regarding mycology and natural farming. So, I'm concerned, while minimal, there may be heavy metal and plastic contamination getting into the jar when drilling into it. Would it be good practice to remove the lid to drill the hole and then rinse it + wipe it down with alcohol? Might be overkill but for growing such an amazing fungi I think we should probably create the best environment as possible.

When you're lost in the darkness, look for the light...
Incredible contribution! Thank you so much for your generosity in sharing your time and expertise!
What a wealth of knowledge! I did not know cultivating these were so easy! I'd love to pick this dude's brain for a while. Thanks for sharing.
Hanging out with him and learning is very cool!
THANK YOU for taking the time to help us!!
wow! How am I only discovering you now! So grateful, thanks for sharing your gift
Been thinking bout growing some cordyceps just for my own use, and you shown all i need to know.
Letssssss go will is one of if not the best cordyceps grower in the world, the man has tweaked and honed in on his craft ultimately acheiving a level of skill and knowledge unmatched in the industry
He's great at this I agree but this recipe isn't anything particularly new, I've seen the same recipe posted on a popular forum dating back 9 years.
You make me so approachable! I have been really wanting to grow these mushrooms and have been afraid of failure but you have give me the confidence to go for it.
did you go for it? where did you find magnesium sulfate?
Just came here for Doug Bierend's book. This guy is amazing. So stoked to have found out about this scene!

Dude thank you SO MUCH!!!! You make the world a much better place, excellent content.
You ROCK William!!!!!! Thank you so much for your work and for making this video!
so proud to see this from a young brother
Just ordered your ebook, Vol #2, and more, cordyceps are amazing!
William is amazing, such an inspiration for me!!!
Love your work.. awesome video. You made the process very approachable.. 🙏
This is gonna be the #1 cordy video hands down. You explain and articulate details a hell of alot better the Ryan Paul Gates dose .
Definitely Check out Ryan’s Cordyceps genetics @ terrestrial fungi! He’s super meticulous with his breeding!!
I mean, I would say that they are both supplementary for each other.
Thank you for the kind words and for supporting the channel!
Love this guy! More of him please
We're hoping we get to do more collaborations with him in the future!
Superbly explained ! Love from India ❤️
Yes king! Love me some North Spore. ❤
I inoculated my first 4 jars of cordyceps militaris 2 weeks ago and the rice is getting pretty orange. Super excited 😄 👍
Nice!!
You are very talented! What an inspiration!
Finally, the good guys channel!
This is very educational. Thank you, this relaxed me quite a bit.
I wonder what made you invent such a complex mix for a substrate. Most of this is easily acquired and/or even fun to obtain (i.e the coconutmilk).
Wow I’ve seen them
Growing wild in the Himalayas

And beyond any word so grateful to find out as I embark on my own journey

Great job. Love the video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
The gasket part was a gem
Great video, I’ll subscribe to that 👍
Thank you. I take Paul's cordyceps because I've never found them in the wild. I live in Wisconsin. Maybe it's the no mountain thing, though we do have major driftless areas.
Keep an eye out and you're bound to find some!
The video we all been waiting for ....... Im sitting on 4 or 5 jars of LC.

Such a cool dude
nice flow hood
Nice!!!
This is so much better than my job.
There's definitely money to be made growing cordyceps! Consider making a change.
Very educational
I thought I could do this until he said you need a clean space in your house.
Every body is different and needs specific treatments ❤
Why doesn’t this have more views there should be an ad on CZcams have you made a TikTok account for this
This is great info. tY💪💪
Thanks for your support!
Thank you 🙏🍄❤
Well done
Thank you for your useful video
Thanks for your support!
thanks for making this vid, William. Much appreciated!!
I’m trying to source some of these products to get started, and would appreciate some clarification. re: the Magnesium Sulfate - is that just plain old Epsom Salt you can find at the grocery store or pharmacy?
Excellent video.
What a great Video. Just stumbled across this as I looked for information about cordysept cultivation. William made it interesting, fun and informative and he shares the recipe! Well done, thank you 👍

You the man "brown skin high school dropout scientist " love you bro
Thanks for the detailed video and hard work you do. I'm just wondering how come to grow in jars we need at least 10 psi for 45 minutes, but in the ben, just instabot cooking rice is enough? Basically, are we missing on sanitation when we grow in a ben?
So i use both modded and un-modded monotubs with and without the clips on the sides and for both i put a 1/2 lb to 1lb weight on top of each tub to hold the lid down and for me it helps maintain the humidity and prevents pests such as fungus or fruit gnats from entering in the tubs i used to tape the lids down but i no longer do this just add a weight in the center of the lid after putting it on the tub

Sorry, but you'll have to reach out to Will on one of his channels for this one.
Willy P-B! Thanks!
First off, much respect to William & Northspore, I often reccommend your products and information in discussions regarding mycology and natural farming.
So, I'm concerned, while minimal, there may be heavy metal and plastic contamination getting into the jar when drilling into it. Would it be good practice to remove the lid to drill the hole and then rinse it + wipe it down with alcohol? Might be overkill but for growing such an amazing fungi I think we should probably create the best environment as possible.
You had to comment asking this instead of just doing it? Of course drill it and clean it, and don't just leave a bunch of shit inside. You're welcome
Who’s stopping me from doing this and slowly fading the temperature to the average human temperature
