- Product name: Cordyceps — Visual Identification Guide
- Category: cordyceps
- Marks and details to photograph: the stated origin, count, insect body, grass tip, break points, weight and packaging information
The visible basis for the name Cordyceps — Visual Identification Guide is the exact product name and the visible markings on the cordyceps lot. A clearer image is needed for anything not shown.
Photographs and condition
Begin at a distance and then move closer to full lot, count, insect body, grass tip, break points, weight and packaging labels. Use steady focus and enough surrounding area to locate each detail.
Before moving the packaging, show dryness, colour, completeness, break points, odour and packaging. Note anything that is damaged, replaced or no longer present.
Storage, accessories and handover
Before packaging the item for handover, keep the lot dry, sealed and away from heat. Do not wash, break or mix pieces from different packages.
For a clear packaging match, keep each lot with its original package, label, receipt and stated weight.
