History & Fun Facts
Reishi is our North Star mushroom at Mushroom Wellness, which is why you’ll find it in every product we
offer. Reishi has a long history of use in traditional Chinese and Japanese herbalism – over 2,000
years! It was even embroidered on the cloaks of ancient emperors.
Reishi motifs are also used in Taoist art and often decorate women’s accessories, carvings, furniture,
and paintings. This sacred fungus has traditionally been referred to as the “mushroom of immortality” as
it is said to have grown off the coast of China in the home of the ancient immortals on the “three isles
of the blessed”.*
