Reishi Mushroom Plate Culture

This Reishi Mushroom Plate Culture strain is a visually stunning variant, forming numerous deep red antlers when grown in a filter bag, with trademark orange, yellow, and white bands towards the tips. Typically growing on hardwood stumps and logs in nature, they perform very well when cultivated in bags. The fruits are highly valued for their immune-boosting and stress-reducing effects and have a bitter taste with a woody texture, making them more suitable for teas, extracts, and powders.

Reishi mushrooms are renowned for their therapeutic properties and have been a staple in traditional Eastern medicine for centuries. Growing this strain with increased fresh-air exchange yields the “conk” formation, producing larger fruit bodies with rich bands of color. Reishi grown in bags can also be used in your greenhouse or indoor plant setups as a CO2 producer, supporting vigorous plant growth.
