reishi mushroom
Glossy medicinal bracket
Reishi mushroom is a bracket fungus used in traditional Asian medicine, prized for purported health benefits including immune support and stress reduction.
The mushroom has a distinctive reddish-brown, kidney-shaped cap with a lacquered appearance.
It's too woody and bitter to eat directly, so it's typically consumed as powder, tea, or extract: She takes reishi mushroom supplements daily.
