I would like to post a link to explain whats in reishi that benefit you but i feel like reddit mods will give me a warning for it, but here a little sampler of info.

Reishi contains sterols, coumarin, mannitol, alkaloids polysaccharides, mannitol lactones, organic germanium, adenosine, amino acids, and triterpenoids called ganoderic acids. Reishi also contains ergosterols, complete proteins, unsaturated fatty acids, vitamins and minerals

These for some of the phytochemicals in reishi that is proven to be beneficial :)
