Habitat Reishi Mushroom
In the remote and mountainous forests of China, Japan and Korea, the extraordinary Reishi mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum) can be found. This is where they originally come from. They grow in places where it is warm, moist and shady, where they can grow on the lower trunk of deciduous hardwood trees.
Reishi mushrooms have been used for thousands of years to make a very old oriental medicine, from Chinese medicine. When you see the Reishi mushroom, you immediately notice that it has a distinctive red cap. A fresh mushroom is picked between August and October and feels soft and corky. The Reishi mushroom is also called "mushroom of immortality", because it is considered a special mushroom.
