Two Reishi Questions
    #14741054 - 07/09/11 01:40 PM (12 years, 8 months ago)

#1. I just cut up 3 fresh Reishi and poured a botle of Everclear over them: then I looked at the recipe and noticed it said dried fruit bodies. Did I just screw up?

#2. :  If we go to the trouble to make alcohol tinctures and hot water infusions to get polysaccharides and triterpenes, how is it possible to get benefits from say, a gelatin capsule of Reishi (from Aloha) when the instructions simply say take a few capsules with a meal?

I've wondered the same thing about question 2
I don't know about question 1

#1. Fresh is fine.  The drying is mainly for long term storage. 

What I do is first extract using water, then I sieve the reishi out and put it in my favorite alcohol and shake it everyday until its ready.

By the time you have consumed the water extract, the alcohol is ready to go.

This way I try not to run out.

#2. I believe they have already extracted those "polysaccharides and triterpenes" and encapsulated them for your use.

I'm pretty sure that they don't extract it for you but instead give you dried mycelium from a massive liquid culture batch.

Your body can digest it, but not the woody fruit bodies.
Just eating the mycelium will give you a fuller spectrum than either polar/non-polar or double extractions.

Flowing

That's news to me.  If it's only dried mycellum, then it's a big ripoff for the prices they charge, and are you sure that the mycellum carries more punch then the fruit body with it's spores?  What I've read is that they are pretty equal except for the spores, but that doesn't take into account the efficiency of water/alcohol extraction.

#1 - fresh or dried will not make a difference but remember to get the same strength as the recipes using dried mushrooms increase the amount of fresh mushrooms by at least 70%.
#2 - either they have extracted already and dried to a powder or they are using dried mycelium.  For the convenience pay for capsules or make your own extract for less - I suspect that the actives will be fairly similar (for either method) no matter what the marketing guru's tell you.

One of these days all the answers will be revealed until then we learn from each other!
