Reishi: The Mushroom for Emperors
Did you know that rice was once used as a currency and was highly sought after? Odd to think about, now that it’s so commonplace, right? Reishi mushrooms aren’t so different. For over 2,500 years these mushrooms have been known for their health-giving boon. In fact, once dubbed the “mushroom of immortality”, there was a time when in China the Reishi was restricted to royalty only. Now, this mushroom that was once just for hierarchy is cultivated and grows right on your counter-top.
