Organic Red Reishi Mushroom Grain Spawn

Our USDA-certified organic red reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) grain spawn features a strain that produces beautiful, waxy, reddish-brown fruiting bodies that are highly prized for their medicinal properties. Due to its bitter flavor and tough texture, it is not recommended for culinary use. However, it is ideal for drying and making powders, teas, and stocks. It can also be extracted and made into a tincture.

Reishi mushrooms will only produce one flush. If growing antlers, use large grow bags to allow enough space for tall antlers to form. For larger yields, allow the mushrooms to form conks instead of antlers. (This is done by allowing lots of fresh air exchange in the growing environment.)

Recommended use:

• Reishi grain spawn can be used for indoor production using sawdust-based sterile substrate.
• Do not use grain spawn for log inoculation.
• This is not a mushroom grow kit. Reishi grain spawn must be combined with a substrate in order to fruit.

Upon receiving your spawn:

Remove it from the shipping box as soon as possible. Then, unfold the top of the bag, making room for air space. It's also important to check and confirm that the filter patch is not obstructed. This will help the organism breathe and continue to thrive!
