Reishi mushrooms, also known as Ganoderma lucidum, are a type of medicinal mushroom that has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries. They are native to Asia, but can now be found around the world. Reishi mushrooms are characterized by their glossy, reddish-brown appearance and their hard, woody texture. They are often used in powdered form or as an extract, and are believed to have a variety of health benefits. Some people take reishi mushrooms to boost the immune system, reduce stress, and improve sleep. They may also have potential as a treatment for cancer and other diseases. However, more research is needed to fully understand the potential health effects of reishi mushrooms.
