What Exactly is Reishi Mushroom
This highly respected fungus makes its home in East Asia, and has been an important part of Chinese culture for more than 2,000 years. In fact, reishi is the oldest mushroom to be used among herbalists the world over. Reishi mushroom likes dead things … really! Reishi prefers growing on trees that are either dead or dying. It boasts a shiny, red hue that gets darker as it ages. These mushrooms are loyalists; they commit to growing on the same tree for years.
