What are the key differences between Cordyceps militaris and Cordyceps Sinensis? Which do you sell and why?Updated a year ago

Cordyceps sinensis is a species of Cordyceps that grows out of larvae and arthropods in the Himalayan Plateau of Tibet and China. Because of the high elevation in which they grow, Cordyceps sinensis is considered rare and has become overharvested. Luckily, there is another species of Cordyceps (Cordyceps militaris) with similar medicinal benefits that can be cultivated on a substrate such as rice, soybean or grain. We sell Cordyceps militaris because it is this most ethical and sustainable option for providing the benefits of this functional mushroom.
