Description
Appearance and Characteristics:
- The Pond Reishi presents in a blistery and bubbly fashion, and continues to grow with a consistent and rich dark burgundy coloring throughout the entire fruiting body. As it reaches maturation, the edges blend and morph into a butterscotch yellow. The average yield is 1.5 lbs. Though these results may vary depending on personal preference for conk or antler formations. Conk formations are densely heavier and more shelf like. Antler formations create more volume and less weight, thus yielding an abundantly thin, spindly, and straw like harvest.
- The growth patterns for reishi can easily be controlled by manipulating CO2 levels and fresh air exchange, it’s outer texture always maintaining a smooth and lackur like appearance in any form.
- The smell of reishi is a mixture of woody musk and a strange sweetness reminiscent of decaying leaf litter. The texture is very woody in nature as well and is made more palatable dehydrated, steeped, and consumed as a tea.
- Our MCM Original Pond Reishi has proven to be a lovely summer strain for us!
