THE HASSLE-FREE, READY-TO-FRUIT SOLUTION FOR GROWING REISHI AT HOME

Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum), also known as Ling Zhi, has been used in traditional Chinese and Japanese practices for thousands of years and is often referred to as the “mushroom of immortality” or “divine mushroom”. Historical texts describe Reishi as a mushroom associated with balance and overall wellbeing.

Today, Reishi is widely studied for its naturally occurring bioactive compounds, including beta-glucans and triterpenes. These compounds are being researched for their potential roles in relaxation, sleep quality, immune function and the body’s response to stress.

Reishi is typically dried, brewed into tea, or made into extracts. Due to its tough, woody texture and naturally bitter flavour, it is not commonly eaten as a whole mushroom but remains one of the most popular functional mushrooms worldwide.

Growing your own Reishi mushrooms at home is simple with this Reishi Mushroom Fruiting Block Kit, produced by our trusted partners at Martian Mushrooms. Designed for beginners and experienced growers alike, this kit removes the guesswork and makes mushroom growing straightforward and rewarding.

The kit includes a pre-colonised, ready-to-fruit block — no inoculation, mixing or waiting for colonisation required. With the right conditions, you can grow beautiful Reishi mushrooms suitable for drying, extraction or tea.

HOW TO USE

Choose Your Growth Style

For Antlers (High CO₂)
Keep the grow bag sealed to maintain higher CO₂ levels. Provide indirect light, warm temperatures (21–27°C) and minimal airflow.

For Conks (Low CO₂)
Open the bag fully or cut large slits to allow more fresh air. Provide indirect light, warmth (21–27°C) and mist regularly to keep humidity high.

Optional Fruiting Chamber
For best results, place the block in a fruiting chamber such as a MonoTub or Martha tent to help maintain ideal humidity and airflow.

Harvest
After around 6–8 weeks, mushrooms should reach maturity. Gently twist at the base to harvest.

A step-by-step online growing guide is available to help support successful results.
