Reishi Mushroom

Australian reishi mushroomThe Reishi mushroom (Ganoderma spp.) has long been revered by Asian Cultures, depicted in subjects of religion, art and health. With its therapeutic properties recognised for thousands of years, they are now becoming increasingly popular in all parts of the world.

This deep red, glossy, woody, kidney shaped and extremely bitter mushroom symbolises longevity & wellbeing, and is also known as the ‘Herb of Spiritual Potency’ or ‘Mushroom of Immortality’ due to its long & impressive range of potential benefits.

Our Reishi mushroom is organically grown in Victoria using the native strain Ganoderma steyaertanum,  allowing us to make unique 100% Australia made products with it, quite a rare thing in the real mushroom supplement market. 

We currently produce the following Reishi based functional food products:

  • Australian Reishi - only one in the market that is made 100% in Australia with 100% Reishi mushroom fruiting body - no added starches (by themselves or with mycelium) or anything that is not the mushroom. Available in 25g/50g jars/pouches and capsules.
  • Trinity Extract - Interested in the benefits of all top Australian mushrooms? This product has you covered. Mixing equal volumes of each of our fruiting body liquid extracts (Lion's Mane, Reishi and Turkey Tail), this is a great way to conveniently harness the benefits of these mushrooms. Available in 50ml and 100 ml bottles.

As with any functional food, there are multiple studies showing promising results in different phases of their lifecycle - Find below an ever growing list to help you decide if Reishi is the right supplement for you.
