How to Grow and Care for Reishi

Reishi, also known as Lacquered bracket, Shiny polyporus

The reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) is a large shelf fungus that grows as a bracket off the sides of trees, or occasionally as a rosette on the tops of stumps. Its surface is smooth and shiny. Growing wild from warm temperate zones to the subtropics, the reishi is also cultivated on grain and sawdust for commercial use. The mushroom has cultural significance in some Chinese cultures.
