Reishi is so magical. I don't even have to look for it. It came into my yard this year. Shitake mycelium is strong too. I have a small block of tree trunk growing in my shower lol. I stood the chunk up on a small board for support and now they can't be separated.
I just downloaded the book and it looks so complete! Thank you very much for the information! Now i'm growing reishi in jars and trying to get that wonderful antler form
a note about the mushroom growing from the toilet from an experienced contractor and fungi nerd. I agree that it is a Ganoderma species however it's extremely unlikely that the mushroom came thru the drains. it's far more likely that the mycelium was developing on the wooden subfloor under the tiles due to moisture from a leaky wax ring seal under the toilet. subflooring is often made of hardwoods like birch and is a very good environment for rapid mycelial growth(with adequate moisture). I once tore out a similar tile from a pizza kitchen and in the process found several small groups of dried yellow oyster mushrooms that had grown throughout the entire kitchen subfloor in the four years since it was installed, deteriorating the subfloor so much that it tile no longer adhered to the subfloor beneath.
Lions mane mycelium is fragile and easily contaminated. Shitake mycelium also turns brown like Reishi does also. I have never tried it but I'm sure those Reishi metabolites are incredibly medicinal. AHCC or Active Hexos Correlated Compound, a polysaccharide mycelial extraction, saved my life literally. It, plus Reishi and Turkey Tail, helped me clear a virus that always leads to cancer if not cleared. I was on the biopsy table right before I started the therapy. Western medicine had nothing to do with this viral clearance. Their solution was to wait to surgically treat until the cancer developed and I was right on the cusp being biopsied in multiple locations. Today I am alive and well. No viruses and I never did develop cancer. I also started growing my own mushrooms, many species, and I never stopped taking them. I also create myco-medicinal products for those around me, including those with HIV, who do very well with Maitake. Maitake takes a long time to grow just like Shitake and Reishi do.
Wow thanx for sharing! Yea they really are powerful medicine, ive read papers proving they successfuly treated cancer and hiv with shiitake extracts, also any mushroom boosts and trains the immune system cuz the immune system reacts like it would when faced with a harmfull fungus, so its like training ur muscles in the gym lol
I'm so glad you used these wonderful mushrooms for your health! My mother died of cancer a few years ago. At the time, she and my stepdad only said "don't talk to us about crazy crystals or mushrooms or crap like that. We don't have time for (fairy tales)" 😥 Oh well Mom. She always was weird with her "logic". So very very glad more are following your logic, and trying it anyway. Good to have you here!🤩 So very very good of you to help others, thank you so much!!! Hope you don't run into many like Mom, who won't LET you help🤞🤞🤞
It would greatly benefit you to look into the actual scientific evidence that's been published about viruses causing diseases. Look beyond the narratives and search out viral isolation and purification. Also see if you can find ANY publications that have a proper scientific controlled study that definitively shows any viruses causing disease, ever. I've been looking for years and have never found one and a couple of Nobel Laureates have published their lack of discovery of this very foundational tale that we've been told to be true
The city I'm in I seen it low on a tree like a crispy fresh tortilla chip, seen it as big & little blobs on some log stumps & some lawns get a little here there or a lot often. I have used a bunch b4. Last yr had a great find in one spot that just seems to always have them. I actually have a big one too hard to use from 2021 as like a display piece. WhAt I normally do with em is crock pot hot water infuse with 🌱🌿,🍄 & ginger sometimes or alone. Water I have used for soup broth b4 & will use it for my reishi, store bought hot cacao chocolate drinks & too brew coffee & tea. Might of drank on own b4. Can be too bitter in mushy state & latter too hard for easy eating.✌🍄🤗💖
Reishi in the instapot 2H, 1 to 2 quart batches. Not too bitter, nutty and mushroom notes come through. A splash of heavy cream does it for me. Much less bitter than steeping on the stove. Hope I'm not over cooking it??
Does Reishi produces its spores on top or under itself? I want to collect its spores to make spore syringes and I don't know how to do this. Could you, please, explain to me how I can do this?
He offers a free ebook at the end. Remember to get it. The airfilter is the source of the Oxygen in the bag. That is what the reishi was doing. It isnt any more rocket science than that a plant grows towards the sunlight. You are genuine and enthusiastic. I have a need to add the science. (source: was a bio major)
@@FreshCapMushrooms Thank you for the reply. I purchase my mushroom powders from FreshCap. I really enjoy your products. They have made a world of difference.
I had the same with my strong oyster mushroom from nature. It escaped from the petri dish as well tze liquid culture through the syringe filter over 2cm distance.
Hey Mark! So sorry this is happening, please send an email to support@freshcap.com, and I will send you a link directly to the book :) Sorry you are having trouble, not sure what might be the issue
in terms of medicinal use, they need to be "cracked open" (mechanically or through CO2 extraction) and then they can be used like any other resihi supplement. They contain triterpene and other beneficial compounds.
Can i use these Blocks after they grew and combine them with some new substrate? What would be the perfect mix? Just some sterile grains and wood chips? Or would some honey/water mix to start a liquid culture also a way to reproduce them?
You said in the video that you can only grow reishi outside, but if you grow the antlers in the bag, sounds like you can also grow these in your home. Which one is it?
@@FreshCapMushrooms I see, it's just from the picture it looks like it's growing from the gap between the toilet and the tiles but you're right it's hard to know for sure. Could be a crack in the porcelain that's causing damp in the wood floor boards, which could of then lead to Reishi growing through the crack in the toilet and out of the drain. There's a somewhat relevant video I saw recently by Journey to the Microcosmos about toilet drain ecosystem if you've not seen it I recommend it. Love the content, thanks for the reply! th-cam.com/video/ekt7VujAWNE/w-d-xo.html
I cannot figure out what is behind you. At first I thought it was a reflection of some trees on a window, but as the video went on i started to see it as some abstract painting of broken down skyscrapers with all kinds of ivy growing on it and trees sprouting? If you see this please I need to know X
I use the hemlock reishi from the woods in central Ontario. They look similar but grow as shelves on side of dead hemlock and tamarack. I hope they are as good as the other species.
I use G. tsugae as well, but in Maine. They are absolutely good enough. The only difference is G. lucidum has the scientific literature to support it, but science has shown all species within the genus have similar properties.
hOW do to induce growth such that they are huge like that? I'm talking Dark Souls Shield? I have seen your wall and you once mentioned "merging heads to make large peieces" an offhand remark I almost feel i made up.
Hey! I'm due for a re-order and heard that y'all quit your third-party testing. What's the story with that? I really saw my cancer metastases put on hold with Turkey Tail, but now I'm a bit worried about the sourcing. Please give me some peace of mind before I start looking for another supplier!

It eats wood and looks like wood , one of the coolest lookin med shrooms I think mushrooms are sentient! I saw an experiment were they innoculated a maze with multiple paths to a food source and the mycelium always took the shortest path to the food source :o
Love the Tenacious D reference. Keep up the great work. I've learned so much from you and now want to start my own mushroom farm
hahahah glad you liked it :) and glad you like the videos! good luck in your mushroom growing adventures

I'm mushroom grower from India
I always watching your useful video
Thank you
Beautiful review of reishi. Im actually growing them right now. Its so interesting what form they will show up:)..
How’d it go?
@@LTV746 they grew beautiful,antler form. Made tinctures out of them:)
Thanks so much for your inspiring and educational videos. They are AWESOME!

Those are some beautiful substrates that you have, man. I can't think of a better way to spend my time doing.

you can’t really over cook mushrooms
When I made decoction for dual extraction the Reishi smelled like baking chocolate. You can't really overcook them in water.
I've been growing all sorts for many years, but just started with reishi this past year. It's a slow grower, but super cool to watch.
Thanks you for introducing Reishi mushroom.
Does Reishi produces its spores on top or under itself? I want to collect its spores to make spore syringes and I don't know how to do this. Could you, please, explain to me how I can do this?

It was an interesting video.
Nowadays I'm quite into mushrooms so yeah I enjoyed the video
I am aware of four different varieties of Reishi mushroom. Which one has the best medicinal benefits?
Ganoderma lucidum is the most commonly cultivated and consumed for medicinal/functional purposes
@@FreshCapMushrooms Thank you for the reply. I purchase my mushroom powders from FreshCap. I really enjoy your products. They have made a world of difference.
G. Lucidum has the most literature, yet compounds are common among the species.
Very helpful thank you
Guys please, what grain spawn and then what substrate in the bag?
Thank you for your responses
I had the same with my strong oyster mushroom from nature.
It escaped from the petri dish as well tze liquid culture through the syringe filter over 2cm distance.
didn't get my book, what to do?
I give up .... Everytime I try to get the ebook, nothing happens. I've tried like 5 times now, and nothing.
Hey Mark! So sorry this is happening, please send an email to support@freshcap.com, and I will send you a link directly to the book :)
Sorry you are having trouble, not sure what might be the issue
Just subscribed! Super neat channel and excellent production value on the videos!
Welcome aboard! Thanks for the kind words :)
ok so when we do I remove the top of the bag ?? and do I spray water on it?
Hi Tony, excelent video. What this mushroom mycelium needs ? Can I use yeast and malt -enriched agar?
Yes, my reishi grew well on malt yeast agar.
It wasn't in the drain lol! it probably colonised some wood in the floorboards and squeezed out of the first crevice it found.
Been watching all your Video what can you do with the spores?
in terms of medicinal use, they need to be "cracked open" (mechanically or through CO2 extraction) and then they can be used like any other resihi supplement. They contain triterpene and other beneficial compounds.
@@FreshCapMushrooms I was really meaning if spread on a dead wood pile will the grow
Can i use these Blocks after they grew and combine them with some new substrate? What would be the perfect mix? Just some sterile grains and wood chips? Or would some honey/water mix to start a liquid culture also a way to reproduce them?
Why not both? :D
Shalom Greetings! I wonder in the case organic sugar and alkaline water would be great or just 8 stage neutral water 8.3PH.
Can you take a look at a picture of a mushroom that grows in my back yard. I think it looks like Reishi. It grows on an old dead oak stump.
Always informative videos Tony, you are a great teacher. Thank you
You said in the video that you can only grow reishi outside, but if you grow the antlers in the bag, sounds like you can also grow these in your home. Which one is it?
That reishi sprouting up through the toilet looks to be coming from the floor underneath rather than out the drain
I think the plumber had pulled it out of the toilet and laid it there, but hard to know for sure

LOL! I thought it was skyscrapers as well when we first moved into the space. It is literally just a plate of rolled steel.
@@FreshCapMushrooms Huh, Very cool effect
Is the ebook still available? link doesnt seem to be working
Is it just that one species that will grow in antler form, or will others do it as well? G. curtisii for example.
I use the hemlock reishi from the woods in central Ontario. They look similar but grow as shelves on side of dead hemlock and tamarack. I hope they are as good as the other species.
I use G. tsugae as well, but in Maine. They are absolutely good enough. The only difference is G. lucidum has the scientific literature to support it, but science has shown all species within the genus have similar properties.
Shelves are the natural form of reishi
I've got one Reishi that got to close to a Cordyceps, Cordyceps growth off of the Reishi. How can I share a photo?
Always very interesting;)
Are they more nutritious/ have more medicinal properties when they’re in “konk” (sp?) form?
Beautiful
Cool man!
Thanks!
hOW do to induce growth such that they are huge like that?
I'm talking Dark Souls Shield?
I have seen your wall and you once mentioned "merging heads to make large peieces" an offhand remark I almost feel i made up.
Could you do a video with agaricus bisporus clonation ? :D
I did subscribe but the book hasn't been sent.
Seems to be the case for many. Info online is free, FYI. Rather than buying books.
Do you need to cycle reishi? Like 5 days on and 2 off?
Have so many in my back yard , but don't know wt to do with it
Pick and dry first off. Extract in vodka and water to make a tincture. They grow all over my property also.
Damn bro, u really got me into mycology with these vids, lol 👍
