first reishi mushroom grow

so i bought a reishi mushroom kit, this is what it looked like when i got it.

i opened the bag cut the antlers off; boiled the antlers for 2 hours and made a tea with some of my bees honey.

i then broke up the mycellium in my reishi kit and mixed it with two bags of sawdust so i can have two reishi kits grow.


i am going to brew my reishi tea into kombucha too!

i will update when the mycellium colonizes and when the reishi kombucha is done.

Sweet! I love the kombucha part! Great idea! I actually have some fully colonized Reishi jars and will be trying this out once I get fruits.

How, exactly do YOU make your reishi tea?

i watched a video by revolutionofthough1 on youtube.
basically i put 1 cup of chopped reishi per gallon of water. set to simmer on stove for two hours
after 2 hours or a little more; i drain the tea into a gallon jar. it is a dark tea.
then i add a liter or two back to the pot with the cup of reishi is in and simmer/boil a second time and have a lighter color tea made. then put that in a container.
when i want warm tea i put the tea in a pot or tea pot and simmer until warm, then add a little honey and ginger spice, let that mix in and then add cool water to get it to the right temperature.
then enjoy 
i am making kombucha out of reishi tea right now aswell, just make the kombucha how you would normally make kombucha except usw reishi tea instead of green/black/white tea.
how do you make your reishi tea?

Gotcha. Yeah, I've made kombucha with black and green teas for a long time. I am currently doing my first reishi grow and my intent was to make reishi tea. I have no idea how I didn't think about making a kombucha. But I saw your post and I'm glad I did! You must let us know how it turns out!
