i really like reishi, i don't take it as a tea instead i use a 20x extract powder of it and put a teaspoon in my morning smoothie. it's very strong tasting, but i feel it's a beneficial tonic to add to my daily routine

Get that placebo effect excuse out of your head. It's not in the least bit scientific if you are self diagnosing.

Listening to your body and spirit will yield better results. Does it make you calmer, faster, stronger, self-aware?

Mushrooms have been known to aid in health since very ancient times. We have lost the Way, and have lost our connection to them.

I like that a lot.  You're so right.  I've experienced those effects repeatedly and still wasn't able to accept it as truth for some reason.  Each time it happened I convinced myself it was due to my expectation of it happening again or whatever way we blow shit off.  I actually found myself subconsciously trying to diminish the effects I felt and told myself its all in my head.  The truth is in that tea!  The truth is the bodily sensation I get after having some.  It really is a feeling of rejuvenation, not only in my physical body but my entire being.  Maybe it's not that way every time, or for every person, but without a doubt, it was obvious to me that my body was loving it. 

By the way, for those that may not know reishi has been used in ancient Chinese medicine for over 2,000 years and the name they gave it is Lingzhi.  This means supernatural mushroom, or spiritual/divine mushroom.  Seriously.  They weren't joking.  I believe this mushroom is one of the more incredible things to exist on the planet and implore you to research more into the studies that have been done with it on ill patients.  It's frightening that no one knows what the hell it is while commercials for pharmaceuticals with an endless list of side effects play on loop during the nightly news every night of the week.  Sorry for the rambling, little stoned.
