Reishi mushroom, scientifically known as Ganoderma lucidum, is a member of the Ganodermataceae family. This fascinating fungus typically grows on decaying hardwood trees in humid, temperate climates, particularly in Asia and North America. Renowned for its traditional uses, reishi has been a staple in Asian herbal medicine for over 2,000 years, often referred to as the "mushroom of immortality."

Historically, reishi has been utilized for its potential benefits in promoting longevity and overall wellness. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is valued for its adaptogenic properties, believed to help the body adapt to stress and enhance vitality. The flavor profile of reishi is quite unique; it has a mildly bitter taste with a woody, earthy aroma, making it a popular addition to soups, teas, and herbal formulations. Its composition includes bioactive compounds such as triterpenes and polysaccharides, which are thought to contribute to its reputation as a functional food that supports overall well-being.*
