Reishi — the "mushroom of immortality"
Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) is a woody shelf mushroom used in East Asian traditions for more than two thousand years. Modern research explores its beta-glucans and triterpenes for immune modulation, stress adaptation, restful sleep, and healthy inflammatory balance — which is why it anchors most Living Terrain blends.†
