Red Reishi mushroom is revered in traditional Asian medicine for enhancing longevity and improving health. Distinguished by its shiny, varnished, reddish-brown cap and kidney-shaped appearance, this mushroom is striking and rich in therapeutic properties.

Reishi mushrooms are celebrated for their immune-boosting effects, attributed to their high polysaccharides and triterpenoids. These compounds are known for their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-tumor properties. Regular consumption of Red Reishi is believed to support cardiovascular health, reduce stress, enhance energy levels, and promote liver function.

Due to its bitter taste, Reishi is not typically used in cooking but is consumed as a dietary supplement in powders, teas, or extracts. Cultivating Reishi requires patience as it grows slowly and prefers a humid, temperate environment typically found on hardwood logs or sawdust-based substrates.

Ideal for those interested in natural health remedies, Red Reishi offers a combination of profound health benefits and spiritual symbolism, earning it the title of the "Mushroom of Immortality" in Eastern culture.

Our Red Reishi Liquid Culture Syringe contains a pure, carefully isolated sample of mycelium nurtured and expanded in our sterile laboratory. This 10 mL/cc syringe is ideal for inoculating substrates with precision and ensuring rapid colonization. Each syringe is guaranteed to be contaminant-free, ensuring a high success rate for your cultivation projects. We offer a free replacement if needed.

Use potato dextrose agar (PDA) or malt extract agar (MEA) for initial culturing of the mycelium.

Incubate Petri dishes at 24-27°C (75-80°F) in a dark environment until fully colonized.
Grain spawn (oats, rye, millet, or sorghum) is recommended for inoculating the bulk substrate.

Sterilize the grains and inoculate with the colonized agar from the Petri dishes.

Incubate the grain spawn at 24-27°C (75-80°F) until fully colonized.
Ganoderma lingzhi thrives on hardwood sawdust or logs, particularly oak, beech, or maple.

Supplement the substrate with bran or other nitrogen-rich additives to enhance growth.

Ensure the substrate is properly sterilized to prevent contamination.
Optimal temperature for mycelium growth: 24-28°C (75-82°F)

Optimal temperature for fruiting: 18-25°C (64-77°F)
Maintain high humidity levels of 85-95% during both mycelium growth and fruiting stages.

Mist the substrate regularly to maintain adequate moisture levels.
Ganoderma lingzhi requires indirect light or low-intensity light to develop properly.

Avoid direct sunlight, as it can dry out the substrate and inhibit growth.
Ensure good air circulation to prevent the buildup of CO2 and provide fresh air.

Proper ventilation is crucial during the fruiting stage to support the development of fruiting bodies.
Colonization of the substrate typically takes 2-3 months, depending on environmental conditions.

Fruiting can be expected within 1-2 months after the substrate is fully colonized and conditions are adjusted for fruiting.

Total growing time from inoculation to harvest is approximately 3-5 months.
