Hey guys, i live in coastal south carolina region and i am finding lots of red and white reishi mushrooms. I was wondering what the benefits of collecting these mushrooms could be? I have collected a few of the nicer samples i could find to take pictures of. Hope you enjoy them, and please help with what these shroomies are good for!

Boiling them for 20 minutes and making reishi tea is one way people consume them. Attempting to powder them and put them into capsules is a noble effort but a serious pain in the ass. RR said that Mrs. Rabbit breaks them up and puts them into a stock pot along with other things such as meat bones and vegetable scraps to make stock with, then uses the stock in cooking, so they end up getting their doses of reishi on the reg. I've got more reishis than I can shake a stick at myself right now, so I'll probably try the stock idea.

I'm sure you know of reishi's awesome reputation for healing. Apparently it's legitimately recognized by the Japanese health ministry as a treatment for cancer. It's been used extensively in Traditional Chinese Medicine (aka Lingzhi mushroom) and even Western medicine is starting to admit that the thing's a beast. Ganoderma lucidum has one look alike though, Ganoderma tsugae, and the only way to tell them apart is to figure out what kind of tree they were growing on. G. lucidum grows on hardwoods and G. tsugae on conifers, particularly Eastern Hemlock. It doesn't really matter though, because both have the same medicinal properties.

I saw these in northern China last April. They were in a grocery store, in a HUGE jar along with a snake, a deer penis, and a bunch of other stuff, all swimming in grain alcohol. Customers could bring in their own jars and fill them up for purchase.
