MycoMedicine
The chief medicinal mushrooms all posess differing and often unique compounds. Most professionals and lay healers use blends of several mushrooms to obtain the benefits of each and to obtain better therapeutic results in healing the sick.

Serious conditions like cancers, hepatitis and diabetes require professional consult to ensure that the right mushrooms in the right amounts for any individual are being employed. Not many physicians or even traditional healers are aware of the power of mycomedicinals and experienced consultation is hard to find.


Tip:
We treat cancers and other serious conditions with mushrooms and herbs alone most of the time and we enjoy high percentages.
If the person yuo are consulting still needs another doctor or treatments then they may not be as aware or capable with some of the powerful biologicals and you should discretely seek a second opinion. (see next)

Cultivation
G. Lucidum is grown in bags and on buried log sections. It is a Summer mushroom and forms tough, leathery red conks from June through August which grow off of hardwoods like oak. Sometimes they are rising from buried limbs or roots and sometimes they are found on stumps and even inside hollow trees.
Innoculated bags of supplemented wood chips/sawdust fruit about 2-3 months after spawning. They produce 2-3 flushes of reishi conks.
Innoculated log sections take longer to fruit but produce mushrooms seasonally for 5 to 7 years.
Many private growers use both methods for flexibility and increased crops.

We have grown and sold mushrooms on Oak Mountain for many years. Reishi is definitely a first choice mushroom for home health cultivation and is readily saleable.
We use it for ourselves and dogs, cats, horses, pigs, deer and bears. We do not use commercial antibiotics because quality, right used mushroom blends work faster and better.

OK! A true King among healing mushrooms, esteemed in China for many centuries and rapidly growing in popularity worldwide is a good medicine to open the Temple of Kwan Yin with!

Welcome.
Best wishes in abundant health and chi! The blessings of Heaven in Nature are for the strength, healing and comfort of man.
