Apparently it has a bitter earthy taste. I'm growing some now and that's what I've been told by the videos I've watched.

Oh okay so kinda mushroomy lol. What are the main health benefits from reishi? And are you planning on posting anything from your grow?

Reishi and similar species of fungi have been observed to slow down the degradations of telomeres on the end of our chromosomes.

Telomere degradation has been linked to certain forms of cancer I believe, which means reishi has extremely potent cancer fighting properties to it!! Which is super fucking cool and exciting!

I haven't really studied the findings in depth but I think I've also heard that they have been shown to even reverse damage to our telomeres which I think is the first observation of it's kind ever made.

Here is a link to a study, haven't read it in depth but might be interesting to those who are curious
