Organic Dried Reishi Mushroom

Whole Reishi mushrooms (ganoderma lucidum or ganoderma multipleum) dehydrated at low temperatures.

Also called the mushroom of immortality, reishi has been consumed since the dawn of time to help the body better respond to stress and stimulate the immune system.

It is today the subject ofnumerous scientific studies which aim to better understand its impacts on the prevention of respiratory tract disorders, the prevention of certain cancers and liver disorders, support for treatment for hypertension and in particular in the protection of the cardiovascular system (1). 

Local Production

Our commitment to quality:

We produce our mushrooms 100% organically and all our products are certified “ BE-BIO-01, Agriculture Belgium ” by CERTISYS.

Our mushrooms are dehydrated at low temperature in order to best preserve their quality. 100% natural, raw, vegan product, additive-free, lactose-free and gluten-free.

Produced in Belgium, we control the entire production process: from spores to harvesting and packaging.

Produced in Belgium, 100% ORGANIC, traceable production from start to finish

The vast majority of food supplements and other mushroom-based products available on the market use mushrooms imported from China, which sometimes poses problems in terms of traceability on production methods.

At the Mycosphere, we control the entire production chain of our products, from spores to mushroom harvesting, drying and packaging.

We cultivate them on a 100% organic substrate that we produce based on beech wood and selected organic cereals from our region.

The reishi mycelium grows on a substrate that we manufacture to measure based on beech sawdust and organic cereals from our region. This substrate is first pasteurized to eliminate possible contaminants before being mixed with the selected reishi mycelium.

Its cultivation requires time and patience: it takes between 3 and 4 months between the reproduction of the mycelia and the harvest of the mushrooms. We control the humidity and air renewal in our cultivation rooms to guarantee maximum development and quality of fruiting bodies.

We then practice slow drying at low temperatures (<42°C.) in order to best preserve all their qualities.

1 kg of dried mushrooms corresponds to 10kg of fresh mushrooms
