The Reishi mushroom is a red woody fungus that tends to grow predominantly on hardwoods. The mushroom is commonly known as the mushroom of immortality, as it has been used for many millennia in Chinese medicine to treat various diseases such as insomnia and cardiovascular diseases [1, 2]. In China, the Reishi mushroom is regarded as a symbol of health, longevity, success and divine power.

Benefits
The bioactive constituents that have been found to hold medicinal properties within the Reishi mushroom are mainly Lanostane-type triterpenoids and polysaccharides such as beta-glucans. These are considered as potent agents for enhancing the immune system, as well as having high antioxidant and anti-microbial capacities [1, 3].
The mushroom is also well known for its potential beneficial effects on sleep and relaxation. When consumed, the mushroom is thought to have hypnotic/sedative type effects, which can decrease sleep latency (time taken to fall asleep) and may increase overall sleeping time, which explains why the mushroom has also been used to treat restlessness, palpitation and insomnia in China for hundreds of years.
