Deer Antler Mushroom (Dried) - 1LB

This is a special form of Reishi mushroom that grows in antler-like shapes (long spindly forms rather than the usual conk). It’s very hard and woody, so it’s used by decocting in teas, broths, or making tinctures. Culinary: Not eaten solid – break into pieces and simmer in water for an hour or more to extract the bitter, herbal compounds, then drink as an herbal tea (often sweetened with honey or dates). Sometimes added to soups as an herbal element (removed before serving). Medicinal value: Reishi is one of the most revered medicinal mushrooms. It’s considered an adaptogen that helps modulate the immune system and reduce stress. Compounds in reishi (triterpenoids, beta-glucans) are known to regulate cortisol and bolster the body’s defenses. Regular consumption in teas is linked to improved immunity and reduced inflammation. (Bullet: Ganoderma is a potent immune regulator and stress reducer, used for centuries in Eastern medicine .)
