This Solaray product is 100% Reishi mycelium, not Reishi mushroom. Calling Reishi mycelium *reishi* or *medicinal mushrooms* is like calling apple leaves *apples* or apple seeds *fruit*. Without Apple seeds, there'd be no fruit, and without reishi roots (ie, the white filament mycelium), there'd be no reishi. But virtually none of the 1100 reishi studies done in the past 25 years (or 3,000 years of historical usage) are based on reishi mycelium. They're based on the fruiting body, the classic 'cap' of a mushroom. This is because these mycelium roots contain only a fraction (around 10%) of the 400 known nutraceuticals known to create its healing results. Mycelium is all grown in vats in 7-9 days, and requires no farms, wood, or dirt. Reishi fruiting body mushrooms take 7-8 months. And the difference in healing capacity is night and day. So there is no disrespect meant here. Reishi is so powerful that even just its mycelium can lead to some results. But accuracy in language is critical in communication, and it's even more important in healing and nutrition. This is 100% Reishi Mycelium. Not Reishi Fruiting Body.
