YOU HAVE FOUND THE BEST REISHI MUSHROOM IN THE WORLD BECAUSE:
- Grown in Australia: Mushrooms are highly absorbent. They will absorb the heavy metals and toxins from the environment in which they are in. Thus if they are grown in polluted areas or with unclean water they can be dangerous to consume.
- Superior drying process: Our Reishi mushrooms are not just grown in the pollution-free Yarra Valley (Victoria); but they are also freeze dried in Victoria. Freeze drying is a superior process of drying to spray drying. It allows for a much more nutrient dense product. The cost is far greater and thus many imported Lion’s Mane mushrooms are spray dried.
- Contains the potent mycelium: Our Reishi includes the mycelium of the mushroom (the “roots” of the mushroom below the surface) not just the fruiting body. World-renowned mycologists like Paul Stamets believe a lot of the benefits of medicinal mushrooms are contained in the mycelium.
This Reishi mushroom is grown and dried in Victoria, Australia. At no point in the process does it leave Australia.
It is freeze-dried for maximum nutrient retention (not spray dried like cheap substitutes). It also includes the mushroom mycelium (the “roots” of the mushroom) which according to the Paul Stamets method, is the most medicinal part of the mushroom. Most inferior brands will just sell the fruiting body.
It is grinded into a powder so it’s easy to make into tea or add into a smoothie.
Ingredients: Reishi Mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum), Mushroom Substrate (brown rice & mycelium).
Why Forrest Superfoods mushrooms contain minute traces of brown rice
The brown rice is the growing medium and most of it is consumed by the mushroom during the growing period. However the mycelium can not be separated from the brown rice entirely and thus there is some brown rice in the finished product.
Whilst it is more complicated (and expensive) process for us to include the mycelium in the finished product, we feel it is necessary to provide the best quality product we can. This is inline with the findings of international mushroom experts such as Paul Stamets.
Why Forrest Superfoods don’t sell extracts
An extract requires the removal of some parts of the mushroom in preference for others. When you isolate a compound from a wholefood you remove components which assist the body with the absorption and digestion of the mushroom.
In our experience, it is most beneficial to consume a wholefood, as close to the natural state of the mushroom as possible.
The argument competitors make for selling extracts is that the chitin is not easily broken down during digestion. Our mushrooms are heated prior to powdering (to remove bacteria) and this is more than sufficient to break down the cell wall so the the chitin is bioavailable .
