Is Cordyceps Sinensis/Ganoderma Lucidum/Inonotus Obliquus Extract vegetarian?

Cordyceps Sinensis/Ganoderma Lucidum/Inonotus Obliquus Extract is an extract derived from cultured Cordyceps sinensis, Ganoderma lucidum, and Inonotus obliquus, three fungal species used in traditional medicine and cosmetics. Cordyceps sinensis is naturally an entomopathogenic fungus that grows on insect larvae, though cosmetic-grade material is typically produced via fungal culture rather than insect harvesting.

An ingredient is considered vegetarian if it avoids components derived from killing an animal.
