Abstract
PREVIOUS work on Cordyceps militaris (Linn.) Link, has been confined to morphology, life-history and relationships1 and physiology2. A study of possible antibiotic production by the mould was suggested by the observation that host tissue incorporated in the pseudosclerotium is resistant to decay.
