Description
Spirit Power
The Chinese refer to reishi as the spirit mushroom, believing that it enhances the connection between mind, body and spirit. Beautifully crisp and refreshing citrus notes harmonize with the soothing and relaxing effects of reishi.
Of the many mushrooms used throughout history, this species is the most admired mushroom in Asia. Having many beneficial properties (which were once folklore but are now substantiated by science)…An intelligent being, reishi is one of nature’s greatest displays of grace and beauty. It invites quiet contemplation and earns my deep respect. I feel connected to this species. Foremost, I see this species as a centerpiece in the reinvention of mushroom farms as healing arts centers.
