Reishi MycoGarden Fruiting Kit - (Ganoderma curtisii)

Grow Mushrooms. Grow Soil. Grow Life.

Plant it. Water it. Watch it grow.

The Reishi MycoGarden Fruiting Kit is the easiest way to grow beautiful, medicinal mushrooms right in your garden. Just bury the block, water well, and within a few short weeks, vibrant lacquered Reishi conks will begin to form—no extra work or equipment needed.

This species of Reishi (Ganoderma curtisii) is native to temperate climates of the USA, and this is the prettiest we have found. This mushroom is beautifully lacquered with brilliant yellow new growth and white tips, like the sun setting perfectly, this mushroom is living art. It is a hard polypore, and it forms very slowly, unlike other fleshy mushrooms. 

A potent medicinal mushroom, Reishi's powers range from sugar regulation for diabetics to cancer fighting properties. This strain is proving to be a potent natural antibiotic as well, exhibiting inhibition against Strep and Staph, making it useful for throat sprays and soaps or cosmetics.

Outdoors this mushroom grows on oak, cherry and maple logs, half buried the best, but can adapt to other hardwoods. We also fruit this one indoors very easily on sterilized sawdust, fruiting in 14-21 days! This mushroom is corky and bitter, so we prefer to dry them fresh and grind them up in a blender to make a fluffy fiber, then make extracts.

As the mycelium spreads underground, it builds rich, living soil, attracts worms, and helps your garden retain moisture. This ancient “Mushroom of Immortality” doesn’t just look stunning—it brings balance and vitality to your garden ecosystem.
