I recently bought some reishi powder (china sourced) off amazon. I take 4 "OO" caps a with 500mg vitamin C 3 times daily, but have not noticed feeling any different. The effect may just be very subtle or maybe the powder is old or weak, it doesn't taste bitter really. I should probably make a tea instead. Don't know if I should trust china for anything like this. Can anyone recommend a good brand of commercial reishi? domestic sourced would be nice. I hope to grow some soon-- got an order in for spores. Thanks

Today I took some fresh reishi from one of my blocks. I cut it up in very thin slices. I took 1000 mg of vitamin c with the reishi. I probably took about 10 to 15 grams of reishi I do not have a scale. I can honestly say that I felt it it.

I feel far too few of the ones in capsules. Unless of course i made the capsule. Take more?
