The Ganoderma, Reishi or Red Mushroom as it is sometimes called is a slow growing polypore mushroom of corky or woody texture.

Reishi picking is not uncommon where it is commonly found but because of the healthy benefits and a thriving market there are now many commercial Reishi and Ganoderma farmers throughout the world who provide a wide variety of Reishi and Ganoderma products.

Ganoderma and Reishi is most often used in the form of a drink such as Tea or Coffee. But can also be taken via powders and pills.
