Live, lab-tested Antler Reishi liquid culture in a ready-to-inject 10ml syringe. Grown under high CO2 to force the striking branched antler form. For tea and tincture, not the dinner plate.
Reishi is the most visually dramatic mushroom you can cultivate, and the antler form is a trick of the growing conditions rather than a different strain. Restrict fresh air exchange and hold CO2 high, and instead of forming flat shelved conks the mycelium throws up branching, coral-like red antlers, often coated in a fine gold spore dust.
This is not a culinary mushroom, and it is important to be clear about that. Reishi is woody, tough, and genuinely bitter. It has been used for centuries in East Asian traditions as a tea or an alcohol tincture, where the fruit body is dried, sliced, and extracted rather than eaten.
Cultivation is slow and warm. Reishi wants higher temperatures than anything else in this range and takes its time, but the antlers develop over weeks in front of you, which makes it the most interesting species here to simply watch grow.
Sold for cultivation and ornamental purposes. Nothing here is a medical claim, and Reishi is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
