🍄 What Makes Reishi Special?

• Forms glossy, shelf-like conks
• Grows slowly and dramatically
• Often considered more of an experience than a typical food mushroom

👉 This is a “watch it grow” kind of mushroom

🍵 How Is Reishi Used?

Reishi is not typically eaten fresh due to its:

• Bitter flavor
• Woody, cork-like texture

It is commonly:

• Dried
• Used for teas
• Used for extracts

📦 What’s Included

• Fully colonized Reishi fruiting block
• Growing instructions

👉 Just add soil, straw, and water.

🌿 How to Plant

1. Dig a 6–8 inch hole in a shady or semi-shady area
2. Place the block in the hole
3. Cover lightly with soil and straw or leaves
4. Water thoroughly
5. Keep the area moist

Then let time and nature do their thing.
