Reishi: the lacquered mushroom of the Chinese tradition

Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) is a mushroom of the polypore family: under its cap there are no gills, but a multitude of tiny pores. Its kidney-shaped cap, reddish-brown and seemingly varnished, sometimes earns it the name “varnished conk”. It grows on hardwood.

“Reishi” is its Japanese name; in China, it is called lingzhi. It holds an important place in the Chinese tradition, where it has been used for centuries. Rare in the wild, it is now cultivated.

A polypore

A hard, woody mushroom that grows on wood.

Reishi or lingzhi

Two names, Japanese and Chinese, for the same mushroom.

A bitter taste

Too tough to be cooked, it is consumed as an extract or a powder.

Composition

What does the reishi mushroom contain?

Reishi contains several families of compounds that have been studied for decades:

Polysaccharides

Notably beta-glucans, fibres present in the mushroom’s cell wall.

Triterpenes

Including ganoderic acids, responsible for its characteristic bitterness.

Fruiting body and mycelium

Two parts of the mushroom whose composition is not identical.

Forms

Reishi powder, extract or coffee?

The fruiting body is the visible part of the mushroom, the part that is harvested. The mycelium is the network of filaments that grows in the wood or on a cultivation substrate. Products often state which of the two parts is used.

As reishi is too hard and too bitter to be cooked, it is traditionally prepared as a decoction. Today it is available as a powder, as an extract (obtained by water extraction, sometimes also alcohol extraction), in capsules, or in hot drinks such as reishi coffee, which combine the mushroom extract with coffee or cocoa.

An extract is often presented with a ratio, for example 10:1: this means that about 10 kg of mushroom are needed to obtain 1 kg of extract.

What research says

Reishi benefits: where does the science stand?

Researchers have long been interested in reishi, particularly in its polysaccharides and triterpenes, and in the differences in composition between fruiting body, mycelium and extraction processes.

To date, no health claim relating to reishi is authorised in the European Union. This research therefore does not allow any particular effect to be attributed to reishi or to a food supplement containing it.

Buying guide

How to choose a reishi food supplement?

The part used

Fruiting body or mycelium: the label should state which.

Extract or powder

Look at the extraction ratio and the amount of reishi per dose.

Organic origin

For a mushroom grown without synthetic pesticides.

Caffeine

Reishi coffees often contain it: check the content per cup.

Frequently asked questions

Reishi FAQ

Reishi or “reichi”: what is the difference?

None as far as the mushroom is concerned: “reishi” is the usual spelling. ReiChi is the name of our reishi drinks, ReiChi Café and ReiChi Zen.

What are the benefits of reishi?

Reishi is widely studied, but no health claim relating to it is authorised in the European Union. No particular effect can therefore be attributed to it.

What is reishi coffee?

A hot drink that combines instant (or decaffeinated) coffee with a reishi extract. The mushroom’s bitter taste is softened by the coffee, cocoa or coconut milk.

Is reishi suitable for everyone?

During pregnancy and breastfeeding, ask your doctor for advice. Also take into account the caffeine present in some reishi drinks.

Where can I buy reishi?

In organic shops, pharmacies and online. At NATURAMedicatrix, we offer it in hot drinks and in capsules.
