The Legend of Reishi
Since ancient times, the Reishi mushroom was reserved for emperors and royalty. It has been revered as nature’s most rare and beneficial herb.
A poem by the first century philosopher Wang Chung writes that Taoist priests used Red Reishi in their quest to attain higher states of consciousness.
“They dose themselves with the germ of gold and jade
And eat the finest fruit of the purple polypore fungus
By eating what is germinal, their bodies are lightened
And they are capable of spiritual transcendence.”
