Reishi
has been used by the Chinese and Japanese for
hundreds of years for increasing longevity and
various other health stimulating effects. It has
also been reported to induce a non-narcotic feeling
of well-being. It is traditionally used fresh
or dried in teas and soups. The dried "conks"
have an attractive varnish-like appearance and
can be used in dried flower and seedpod arrangements.
