Reishi Sopron-Strain - Ganoderma lucidum - Mushroom patch
Synonyms:
Ling Zhi/Chi, Jong Si/ryongji, Mannentake, The Panacea Polypore
The Reishi Sopron Strain comes from our own wild collection in Sopron (western Hungary). This cultivar is ideally suited to the European climate and is excellent for outdoor cultivation. Another difference to other cultivars is that Reishi Sopron also produces good yields even at low humidity levels.
This mushroom is called Ling Zhi in China and Reishi in Japan. The German name Glänzender Lackporling (shiny lacquer polypore) mainly refers to the appearance of this typical tree fungus. Traditions assume that this fascinating mushroom has a history of around 4,000 years!
In East Asia, Reishi is traditionally a symbol of health, physical and mental regeneration, long life, high sexual activity, wisdom, and prosperity.
Reishi is rich in micronutrients such as iron, magnesium, calcium, zinc, copper, manganese, and germanium. The polysaccharides and triterpenes it contains, such as ganoderic acids, ganolucidic acids, and lucidemic acids, are particularly valuable.
Ganoderma lucidum is a wood-dwelling saprophyte that mainly colonizes hardwoods such as oak, beech, alder, or birch. It prefers warm oak or mixed forests, as well as red beech forests or riparian forests. However, it can also be found in hedges, parks, and along roads, provided that the right conditions prevail there.
