The plant

Reishi is a tough bracket fungus with a lacquer-like surface. The stock lists Ganoderma lucidum.

What's in it

Beta-glucans are complex carbohydrates in fungal cell walls. Triterpenes are another group of natural compounds and contribute to bitterness.

How it works

Traditional resilience: Reishi has a longstanding role as a wellbeing tonic in East Asian practice. A tonic is traditionally chosen for ongoing strength and balance. Calm vitality: Its traditional reputation combines vitality with restfulness, giving it a distinctive place among mushroom preparations.

In the tradition

Known as Ling Zhi in Chinese herbal tradition.

Its glossy surface can look as though it has been varnished.

How to use
  1. 1Simmer 1–2 tsp reishi in 500ml water for 20–30 mins — reishi is woody and needs a long decoction.
  2. 2Drink 1 cup daily.
  3. 3Distinctly bitter. Often taken with honey or cocoa.
Suitability
