Looks like reishi to me, ive seen some pretty wierd forms of reishi, I have some pics from FP's grow rooms that ill post later, some of them are really 'misshapen'.

the spores are all over the reishi whenthey hit maturity they spew spores out constantly take a cotin swap and move it around any dusty looking spots on the reishi then get that started on agar and make your transfers. this is how i got my reishi started and i have plenty of viable culture now

The rust-brown coloration on the fruitbodies (on top of the cap) is on giant spore deposit.
You can either take a sterile tissue transfer
or propagate from multi-spore by swabbing the top of the cap

Reishi Tea:
Dry and chop the fruitbodies
1 cup of water
1 teaspoon of chopped, dried Reishi
7 thin slices of fresh ginger root
simmer for 10 minutes
strain
serve with honey to taste
enjoy!

u can see one is red and the other one is purple...
i know the red is common... but i was readin... the colors of reishi depends of the strain... and th benefits it can offer...

do u know something about that ??

[pancyan]

google knows more then we do

[Myc]

Honestly, you might actually google it.
Good idea.
I've read Stamets' book "Growing Gourmet and Medicinal Mushrooms" and he only mentions Ganoderma lucidum which is what I have.
Please summarize what you come up with.

There are many varieties of reishi :

- Akashiba ( red reishi )
- Kuroshiba ( black reishi )
- Aoshiba ( blue reishi )
- Shiroshiba ( white reishi )
- Kishiba ( yellow reishi )
- Murasakishiba ( purple reishi )
Each had been classified in the "Shinnoh Honshokyo" and in the catalogue of herbs written in the Ming Dynasty about the first or second century B.C.. The Akashiba ( red reishi ) is the one undergoing cultivation.

Red colored Reishi for heart, purple is for joints, green for liver, white for lungs and skin, yellow nourishes spleen and black colored herb for kidneys and brain.
