The reishi mushroom has a long history of use in Asian culture that dates back more than 2,000 years. It is often referred to as the “Herb of Spiritual Potency” and is depicted in art as a symbol of prosperity, good health and longevity.

Our Red Reishi mushrooms come to us from China. Ganoderma lucidum is the Latin name for these wonderful mushrooms that are used in Chinese medical herbal traditions. Ganoderma lucidum, like all mushrooms, is the fruit of a fungus. They can be found on top of the ground or growing on trees.
