How to make $200 reishi mushroom extract

It's now easy to grow at home on woodchips.

REISHI, lingzhi, or Ganoderma lingzhi is a polypore fungus ("bracket fungus") native to East Asia, belonging to the genus Ganoderma. Its reddish-brown varnished kidney-shaped cap with bands and peripherally inserted stem gives it a distinct fan-like appearance. When fresh, the reishi is soft, cork-like, and flat. It lacks gills on its underside. It instead releases its spores via fine pores (80–120 μm) in yellow colors [1].  The mushroom is used in traditional Chinese medicine [1, 2]. There is insufficient scientific evidence yet gathered to know if consuming reishi mushrooms and their extracts, as has been done by the Chinese for millennia, benefits human health or fight disease [3, 4, 5].
