Red Reishi or Ganoderma Lucidum has been used for thousands of years in Asian cultures. Peasants who found the mushroom growing in the wild could exchange them for the mushrooms weight in gold.

How to Prepare Your Reishi mushrooms.
Chinese herbalists recognize 3-5 grams per day for daily maintenance and higher doses for serious illness. Reishi is best taken with Vitamin C to assist the body with absorption of the mushroom.
The mushroom body is too woody to be consumed thus all recipes call for the cooking or soaking out of the beneficial properties. Mitobi's thinly sliced Reishi mushrooms make it easy to prepare. Reishi extract can be found at the bottom order form or click the link on top to go to the Reishi extract page.

Tea: Reishi tea is the traditional way of preparing the mushroom. The dried Reishi mushroom slices can be soaked overnight in water, then boiled (with the water) for 5-10 minutes. Strain and enjoy. Or bring water to a boil and simmer for 2-3 hours. The bitter taste can be overcome by adding honey or juice (grape, cranberry etc.). Tea can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days and served warm or cold. Do not use an aluminum pan for preparation.

The picture to the left is what I use for Reishi tea. This is 30 grams of Reishi mushrooms (about 30 good size pieces) and I put in a pot with about 10-11 cups of water. After cooking it as described above I drink about one and a half cups of the tea per day.

Making the tea is not an exact science so 'eyeballing' it is recommended!
The flavor of the tea is a bit like trying black coffee or Scotch Whiskey for the first time, terrible at first but very enjoyable after you've had it a few times!!

Tonic: Put 15 grams of Reishi mushrooms in a bottle of rice wine, brandy or your favorite spirit and soak for at least 6 weeks (the longer the better). A small glass a day for maintenance.

Soup: Simmer the ganoderma mushroom pieces in your favorite soup for 1-3 hours at a low heat. Reishi can also be added to the water of your vegetable steamer for a unique earthy taste to your veggies.
