The aim of the current study was to determine the growth-promoting-effect of  Cordyceps militaris,  known as a medicinal mushroom, on  Lactobacillus casei  and  Lactobacillus acidophilus . To evaluate the best growth-promoting activity of the test substrates including glucose, inulin, and at different concentrations of  C. militaris  (0.5%, 1%, and 2%), the cell counts, optical density (OD), prebiotic activity scores, and postbiotics (lactic, acetic, butyric, and propionic acids) were determined. The highest cell count was found for  L. casei  in media containing 0.5%  C. militaris  and for  L. acidophilus  in media containing 1%  C. militaris.  In the case of both strains, the OD values of the medium with  C. militaris  (1%) and (2%) increased similar to those of glucose. The prebiotic activity scores for both strains were positive. The concentration of lactic acid ranged from 0.56 to 8.07 g L −1  for  L. casei  and 0.82 to 5.38 g L −1  for  L. acidophilus.  Moreover, propionic acid was the highest among short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) produced by both strains. According to the results of the present study, the tested  Lactobacillus  species can utilize  C. militaris  as carbon source and is able to form postbiotics in the media.
