1.I've heard Reishis are easy to grow. Is this true?
He makes them look easy to grow but no they are not easy to grow.
2.Should I use the jar culture method shown in the video?
Use his method exactly.
3.I'm looking for spores. Should I use a spore print or syringe?
a syringe prepared by a vendor is usually more likely to be clean, I'm pretty sure syringes are normally guaranteed by the vendor but prints aren't because they are easily contaminated.
4.How could I put the medicinal value of the mushrooms into capsules?
Would this lessen their ability, and if so, should I prompt them to make a tea, etc?
look at wikipedia - alcohol and hot water take out different amounts of medicinals so you can make an alcohol tincture or tea.
5.How can I get conks, and not antlers?
you can't get conks with the jar tek you would need to grow the reishi via bag tek and cut the side of the bag open to simulate their natural tree environment.
6.Is it possible to grow outdoors in kentucky? Zone 6? We have harsh summers and cold winters. It's humid in the summer, and rains regulary. If so, How could I do it? They naturally grow on trees normally in places in Asia. use www.google.com and the shroomery search function.. I haven't heard of outdoor cultivation of reishi as of yet.

BTW

hot water extraction (tea) and alcohol extracted tinctures work differently

alcohol extraction is good for extracting the triterpenoids which are also known as ganoderic acids which are molecularly simular to steroid hormones.

tea extraction is good for extracting more of the polysaccharides which are advanced carbohydrates.

to my understanding triterpenoids will help immune system function and respiratory function...

this is what my friend told me and I'm just reversing my clouded mind using wikipedia personally I take pills which contain unmeasurable amounts of the "goodies" in comparison ton consuming tea and tinctures. I take 1 a day and they cost just under a buck with tax.

I want to grow some PF style (antler) and Bag style (conk) along with shiitake, trying to eat healthier and what not.

Reishi is the easiest of all mushrooms to grow. Much easier than cubensis for sure, which is probably the second easiest mushroom to grow. Conks need 100% humidity and LOTS of air exchange to form indoors. Often in nature, they're found very close to the ground where the humidity is higher. In wetter climates, they can be found much higher up on the trees, and grow way larger, as can be seen below.

To grow outdoors, use grain spawn to inoculate sterilized wood dowels, and then when they're colonized, drive them with a hammer into holes you've drilled into freshly cut hardwood logs. Keep them shady and moist for the first year. Usually they'll fruit the first year, but certainly by the second they will.

Indoors, use sawdust/woodchip blocks as shown in the DVD.

BTW RR, if you look at this thread again...

what's your favorite strain from Aloha Medicals? Assuming you have one.

I'm looking to buy the Shiitake 75 strain and possibly a Reishi strain near the end of February.

If applicable what would you suggest for medicinal properties?

I'd PM you but I'm scared you'll put me on ignore for disobeying your PM note :o

Shiitake 75 is sopposed to be a nice strain, if you look at RR's gallery your sure to stumble upon some shiitake, i think alot of them are the 75's

Other than maybe the 75's, your gettings a much better bargin if you get your cultures from somewhere like sporeworks...even then i hear the shiitake at sporeworks is very good

For medicinal preperties reishi.

However each mushroom is different and will benifit in different ways, reishi just seems to be the most acclaimed.

I would just buy from sporeworks and get a bunch of cultures, shiitake, reishi, lions mane, miatake...seems like theirs a couple other good ones im forgeting

For conks RR said 100% humidity and lots of air exchange.

That won't be achievable with perlite alone. If you run a martha with a humdifier and a fogger on a timer you could adjust the fogger accordingly to achieve 100% relative humidity. Not from personal experiance I'm just making the assumption.

I don't know where your going with the bag of soil.

a fogger is really all you need althow i grew this with just misting 2x a day...no other attention given, it got destroyed by knats but i think it was going to form conks



gr33nday, all you need is some bird seed, or sawdust/woodchips, or a mixture of all the above.

you don't need to case reishi, and i havn't seen anywhere on here, where someone tried to fruit a log indoors, althow now that i think about it, i wonder why

oh and these were grown with just a cool mist humidifier




these 2 bags had some decent air exchange, were prob around 75-85% humidity

Use sawdust/woodchip bags, not logs, and NEVER bring soil from outdoors inside.

For shiitake, the 75 strain from AM is my favorite, and I have at least fifteen to twenty shiitake strains. The 75 will grow caps as large and meaty as portabellos, and ten times tastier. Shiitake is one of the best medicinals out there and it's an edible, which reishi is not. In addition, reishi tea will gag a maggot unless you find a way to cover the horribly bitter taste with lemon, honey, etc.

When mrs rabbit was diagnosed with cancer a few years ago, I switched all my growing and study to medicinals. When she was going through chemo, I fed her shiitake, cordyceps, A blazaii, and chagga every day. She drank Reishi tea from both wild collected Ganoderma oregonese and Ganoderma tsugae that grow in our area, plus Ganoderma lucidum that I grew in my mini greenhouse. Long story short, she went through 9 months of chemotherapy and kept 90% of her hair, while actually gaining weight during that time.

Of course, I also dragged her sometimes kicking and screaming, but dragged her nonetheless over at least 30 miles of mountain backpacking trails per week, so the exercise helped too. She's still cancer free.

nice job RR

Very touching people like you are so awe inspiring. I have a friend right now who is chronically ill and he's basically to lazy to excersize, eat healthy, quit smoking (2-3 packs a day), have any sort of mental stimulation. He's basically giving up on life and he asked me today if he should get a DNR (do not resuscitate). So fucked.

Cancer blows glad you and your wife beat her cancer and she's healthy.

Can you tell me anything about the available substrains of Reishi from AM? I'm looking to purchase the shiitake 75 and possibly a reishi strain near the end of February.

Well...I think I'm going to try to do it the way where I'll get conks.
So, what tek would that be?
Using bags?




You'll need to use bags I've heard getting the expensive bags in belgium from saco2 is the best for reishi as they provide superior gas exchange but you need to buy cases of 1000 at a time. Neways any of those filter patch bags will work. When birthing you slice into the side of the bag to stimulate grow from where you cut. This will lead up to the growth of conks ...


More or less quoting RR from one of his reishi cultivation threads.

The saco2 bit is what I heard from John at Aloha Medicinals. I heard growing reishi takes 4 to 6 months. 6months for large fruit bodies. Plus from my understanding the high quality pills you can buy give a rediculous amount of medicinal goodness compared to consuming tea broth and tinctures. Assuming that that is true which I actually believe it is. The high quality pills I've taken for 3 months cost just over a buck a pill so really the price preformance should be incomparable. I've been hesitant to grow reishi for this reason as it will not be cost effective unless I look at the long run being like life time use of broth/tinctures.

You need to consider a convience factor too. Building a water evaporator / dehydrator is more cost effective than buying bottles of water but hardly anyone bothers. You should make that consideration when growing reishi for medicinal properties. Sure you have the achievement of growing your own reishi but man I've had the tea once and it's awful. I'd consider consuming dried alcohol extracted tinctures encapsuled or some shit but fuck man. My main objective growing reishi would be just to do it for experiance but now that it's considered slow growing and easy as easy gets, I don't know.

sorry but seriously.

it's not price effective in terms of the medicinals you put into your body.

a decent sized fruitbody takes 6 months to grow.

they cost money to grow.

pills are affordable, highly effective and convient however growing your own reishi has it's educational aspects and it's like "natural" trendiness - but again RR said reishi are easier to grow than cubes which I think are pretty easy to grow. (i've never actually grown reishi I want to do a bunch just so I have done so, to have reishi cultures in my collection, to supply friends with reishi at or near my cost to produce, to test reishi alcohol tinctures vs store bought pills) Almost all asian herbals taste awful unless they are powdered tinctures that you eat in capsuled form or if you mask the taste very well.

eh it takes a little bit longer to fruit, so just make a few more bags to make up for the loss time.  I can't remember exactly how long it takes to grow them, but 4-6 months seems longer than I remember.

there fun to grow so i hate it whenever i see anyone turned off from edibles, you should dip your hand in them all.

over a dollar a pill seems expensive to me, i can make about 50 sawdust bags for about $3 :lol: obviously im not counting the bags(you can reuse them) or the electric

then i can grind up all the conks or antlers i get and put them in capsules myself.  grinder = $10 capsule machine = $20

once you have a nice setup, its very easy.  and when your also growing shiitake or w/e along with them...the time just does not matter.

I am curious now however, the medicinal difference between wild reishi and homegrown.

seriously?

I was quoting John from AM lol, maybe he mixed up weeks with months in his email. that doesn't sound right though because he said 90-120 days but 6months is better 6months = 180 days which would make sense.

I'd hate to argue with RR though, he's the heavy weight around these parts.

I quote people. I would never argue with Rogerrabbit on anything on the subject of mushrooms Lol. I don't think he knows how to make a mistake in terms of mushrooms. However John @ AM could be meaning 6months would be nice to get a LARGE fruitbody. Who knows it's like saying you should eat subway when someone else will say subway isn't healthy your taking in too much carbs - only arguement I could think of that wasn't retarded but opinionated. (it's like 5:30am can't sleep... or think)

However I think both RR and John are correct as I think the 90-120days or preferably 6months (180days) would be for large fruitbody size. Desired fruitbody size is highly opinionated. I'm sure both of them are well versed in the mycelium world.

I asked a few knowledgeable people on the subject as reishi for a medicinal supplement (pills vs tea/tincture) and appearently it's true that taking the high grade reishi pills at around a buck a day is beyond what anyone could reasonably consume in tea/tinctures in terms of medicinal content. Maybe I'm wrong I seem to be wrong to some extent on about everything I post :laugh:

John's a good friend of mine and we've worked together on a few projects, including the cordyceps that is ongoing. In fact, he took several copies of my DVD to Africa a few months ago to use in a University mycology course he was teaching. He knows his shit. We've traded cultures back and forth, and a lot of the edible and medicinal mushrooms I grow are from his cultures. Perhaps he was speaking of time from spores, but even then, six months seems a bit long.

I actually have a substrate block of reishi forming conks right now as I type. I just checked the date on the substrate bag and it was inoculated on Jan 13. The rye grains prior to inoculation took a week to fully colonize from an agar wedge. The master slant was taken out of the refrigerator to inoculate the petri dish on Dec 31, so in another week when it's done, there will be a total of 5 weeks in this project. Species is Ganoderma oregonese, which is somewhat faster and much larger than the G lucidum from the orient.

It's said that the highest concentrations of medicine in Ganoderma is contained in the spores themselves.

yes, he did say expect 6months to harvest.

soo, any favorite substrain of reishi from AM?

Can you also give us any insight on reishi pills vs "natural" teas/tinctures?

being the generous and curious shroomerite I am.

I looked into the amount of reishi that goes into each pill the meikei reishi standard is 12 fruit bodies in 1 pill there are 12 large fruit bodies and the meikei pro is 30 fruit bodies in 1 pill.

yeah. I'm convinced :smile:

I should rephrase that to it takes 12 large fruit bodies to produce one pill. Or one pill would have the medicinal content of 12 large fruit bodies.

flavoraid said 12 fruit bodys, but i don't see how its possible to fit them all into a tiny pill, i think he's saying the spores from 12 fruit bodys.

but yah just grow some conks and collect the spores and make pills out of them. This way you can make your own high grade pills.

after collecting your spores on wax paper you can then grind your conks (they will have some spores in them)

For shiitake, the 75 strain from AM is my favorite, and I have at least fifteen to twenty shiitake strains.  The 75 will grow caps as large and meaty as portabellos, and ten times tastier.  Shiitake is one of the best medicinals out there and it's an edible, which reishi is not.  In addition, reishi tea will gag a maggot unless you find a way to cover the horribly bitter taste with lemon, honey, etc.

When mrs rabbit was diagnosed with cancer a few years ago, I switched all my growing and study to medicinals.  When she was going through chemo, I fed her shiitake, cordyceps, A blazaii, and chagga every day.  She drank Reishi tea from both wild collected Ganoderma oregonese and Ganoderma tsugae that grow in our area, plus Ganoderma lucidum that I grew in my mini greenhouse.  Long story short, she went through 9 months of chemotherapy and kept 90% of her hair, while actually gaining weight during that time. 

Of course, I also dragged her sometimes kicking and screaming, but dragged her nonetheless over at least 30 miles of mountain backpacking trails per week, so the exercise helped too.  She's still cancer free.

WOW! WOW! AMAZING!!!
How is she doing now? Hope everything is fine... .

Its common knowledge now(2013), that reishi and chaga "pills" are not an effective method of ingesting either medicinal fungi. They are comprised of lignens and cellulose and the medicinal compounds are contained within those cell walls. As humans, we can not break down lignens or cellulose,so the pill literally passes through the body, with almost no effect. On top of which, it would be simply impossible to fit 12 fruiting bodies worth of reishi into one pill and is not the method used. The only way pills could be effective at releasing the medicinal components into the human body, would be if they were liquid caps containing the already extracted triterpenes and ganodermic acids.
