Dried Top Grade Japan Red Reishi Mushroom Slice - 16 oz. (1 lb.)

So,I finally got around to using this and made some tea with it to help with sleep. I think I use too many strips. I use three or four strips in mine, but it was so bitte it was hard to swallow. But that's great the bitter it is the better the quality. The next time I made it I use a bigger container and cooked it. It wasn't as bitter and it also again helped me have great sleep.

This was perfect to cut up and use to make both tea and tinctures.

No bits of plastic as far as I’ve been able to tell, just high quality reishi mushroom slices. If others have gotten pieces of plastic I’d assume it’s part of the bags used to grow the mycelium, and is probably completely food safe as they’d need to sterilize the bags at a high temperature and pressure anyway, and I’m not concerned about such things.The tea is great, the product is clean and I have 0 complaints. Thanks for the high quality product :)

Super healthy and tastes nice.

These are thought to have many health benefits.

I gave this 4 stars because it seems to be a good product, but i found bits of plastic inside with the reishi. luckily, i sifted through the bag before making tea - which i only did because i ordered a full pound of the stuff; enough for several months worth - but the fear of overlooking some and it getting into my tea was worrisome. just a warning. plastic looked like bits of a plastic wrap

I tried hydrating these four different ways: for 5 minutes, for 10 minutes, for 15 minutes and for 20 minutes. Each time they had the consistency of leather. I couldn't bite through them or even cut them with a knife. Don't buy these.

Found a recipie to double extract these rieshi mushrooms. My wife has psoriatic arthritis and the elixir really does ease her pain. She puts a tablespoon in her coffee every morning.The extraction is really easy. Place mushrooms in a Mason jar and fill(almost) with any alcohol over 80 proof. We use bourbon, but vodka is probably more flavorless. Leave this mix sealed in the jar for 60 days, shaking every day. It's OK if you forget here and there.After the time is up, strain and reserve. Take these same reishi and simmer them in 2 quarts of water for 2 hours. A very low simmer works best and can always add more water if it reduces too quickly. But you want a yield in equal to the alcohol. Let it cool then simply mix the water extract and the alcohol extract. It's super shelf stable from the alcohol and does not need refrigeration.Use at your own risk, but I will say that we do use it daily and it's super effective.This package can easily give 8-10 quarts of elixir.
