Cool. As with other species, you can stock up on them when they're fruiting, then dry and store to make tea all year. RR

Why not just gather what you need? These fruitbodies are part of an ecosystem... They are different to 'regular' mushrooms in that they take a lot longer to grow. I'm not against harvesting a few, and cultivating more...I just think that people harvesting things from the wild need to think 'sustainable' all the way. No point harvesting a billion then having them collect dust somewhere. And if you were planning on selling them wouldn't you require a permit of some kind?

Yeah it gets biter once it dries, but when fresh I find it very enjoyable. I don't think it's that bad dried either.

Thats right, I'm a DUDE, and a BIG GUY, and I'm gonna crush your balllllz!!!
Nah but seriously man, sorry, I didn't mean to have a go at you, its just hard to tell these days who is out to pillage and plunder and who is out respectfully utilise their local natural resources. I see now that you are the latter. Happy hunting!

I usually wake up in the morning with horrible plugged up nasal passages, 1 cup of Ganocoffee and im clear as a bell. Reishi is a pretty amazing mushroom and has a lot of natural histamine blockers

Its only prolific in coastal regions where you have a constant high humidity Reishi does well in a low humidity environment when its fruiting because it gets its nutrients and water from its host

Hey man zeewarp, are you interested in buying reishii? Cause I have an awesome patch a huge hemlock in the woods has fallen and this fall, I found 3-4 HUGE reishi's like a foot across. Just massive things, and a few littler ones. I know they'll be back , as well as finding a bunch elsewere. I've made some tea couple times just to get a feel for it. PM and look in my gallery for specimens.

No, they are used for medicinal properties usually.
