Yellow Reishi Liquid Culture -Ganoderma Curtisii

Yellow Reishi (Ganoderma curtisii)

Yellow Reishi (Ganoderma curtisii) is a type of mushroom that belongs to the family of Reishi mushrooms. It is a polypore mushroom, meaning it does not have gills on the underside of its cap, but rather has small pores that release its spores.

Yellow Reishi is native to Southeast Asia and is commonly found growing on the trunks and stumps of hardwood trees. It has a yellow to orange-brown cap and a bitter taste.

Yellow Reishi is highly valued in traditional Chinese medicine for its potential health benefits. It is believed to have immune-boosting, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties, and has been studied for its potential to lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels, as well as its potential to support liver function.

Yellow Reishi is typically consumed in the form of an extract or tea, as its tough and woody texture makes it difficult to eat raw. It can also be found in supplement form in health food stores. ©

These are one of the most commonly studied mushrooms in the world. In many regions, Yellow Reishi is used to treat infections and inflammatory diseases. They have a myriad of benefits including positive impact on the cardiac health, immune system, intestinal health, and so on. Here are some of the benefits of Yellow Reishi:
