C. Militaris is commercially cultivated because this fungus has a shorter life cycle than O. Sinensis and the production costs are relatively less expensive.

O. sinensis takes 1–2 years to fulfill its life cycle, C. Militaris takes only 4– 6 weeks as it does not require a host insect because it fruits readily in culture.

The richness of bioactive compounds in C. Militaris and the associated pharmacological effects are substantial. For example, C. Militaris was found to have an even higher cordycepin concentration than O. Sinensis.
