The Longstanding and Respected Reishi Mushroom Properties

One can already infer that reishi is a special mushroom from its linguistics. In Chinese, reishi is called lingzhi, which translates to “spirit plant.” The Chinese character for reishi is composed of three different logographs: “shaman,” “praying for,” and “rain.” Reishi’s Latin name Ganoderma lucidum also breaks into three constituent parts: gan for “shiny,” derm for “skin,” and lucidum for “brilliant”. Other given names are “queen of mushrooms,” “mushroom of immortality,” “10,000 year mushroom,” and “mushroom of spiritual potency,” just to name a few! These regal names are appropriate when you consider the many reishi mushroom properties.

Finding a Quality Source of Reishi

What was once a mushroom primarily saved for royalty, such as Taoist priests and Chinese Emperors, is now available for the general public in health stores around the globe. Deservingly, Reishi has gained popularity in the west, and is fairly ubiquitous within health-conscious communities. However, it’s important to be selective with your purchases, as many Reishi supplements are sub par. A study done by the United States Pharmacopeial Convention found that roughly 75% of reishi mushroom supplements don’t even contain reishi!
