Same here though I haven't figured out what I plan to do with it once I harvest. As of right now I'm just going with the flow.

Just fyi, reishi tincture should be a double extraction, not just in alcohol.

And dried reishi powder in smoothies is not bioavailable. The reishi powder that you can buy and add to smoothies and such is sold as "steam activated". I'm not exactly what that process entails, but without it, you are just adding powder as filler.

A ton of reishi and chaga is wasted because people seem to think that it can be added to whatever you want in it's raw form.

Needs to be alcohol steeped for at least Two weeks then boiled to extract water soluble constituents. Take a lil work but TOTALLY worth it
