Reishi dried mushrooms (often called Ganoderma lucidum or “mushroom of immortality”) are traditionally used more as a tonic and supplement than a culinary mushroom, thanks to their distinctly bitter, woody taste and firm texture.
Reishi Dried Mushrooms
Reishi Dried Mushrooms are dried Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms, often nicknamed the “mushroom of immortality.” They have a bitter, woody taste and a firm texture.
Painting a mushroom for the museum
Randi paints plants and fungi for a natural history museum. Each week, a curator drops off a specimen in a wooden box. This time, a glossy, red-brown fan sits inside the box. It looks as if someone polished it with wax. So she props it under her bright desk lamp.
At first, she can’t match that deep, lacquered shine. Then she layers thin washes of rust and honey until it glows. Meanwhile, she reads the label taped to the box. It says reishi, nicknamed the mushroom of immortality. Randi chuckles and taps its tough, woody edge. Of course, the legend is just a story. Still, that famous nickname has stuck around for ages.
What sets Reishi Dried Mushrooms apart
