Essential notes of the 'king of fungi'
It is considered one of the best studied fungi, since, currently, there are More than 5,000 publications About its applications, its history or its active biomolecules. The benefits of the Reishi are due to the presence of these active biomolecules or specific nutrients. Among them, the main ones are polysaccharides such as beta-glucanos (Especially the β-D-Glucanos), the Terpenes (especially triterpenes), Pepidoglycans, etc. that we have been studying for more than 20 years in our R&D department. In some parts of the world, it was considered and still considers that the Reishi has properties in the physical and mental balance of the body.
Possible Reishi applications
- Emotional Management: Relaxation and stress relief
- Integrative support: It has numerous studies studies on its activity in combination with conventional treatments and their effect on the quality of life (2,3,4,5)
- Also known as a powerful antiaging (1): Faced with the oxidation and production of free radicals that occur over time, stress, pollution and inappropriate diets.
In addition, in the last 10 years, the Portal of Scientific Articles Pubmed has published more than 1400 articles about Reishi, which reflects the growing interest of fungi applications in general, and Ganoderma in particular.

Reishi properties, applications and uses
The great interest in the Reishi and its benefits are well documented, as in other fungi such as the Shiitake, he Cordyceps wave Lion's Mane, among others. The first records date from the II Millennium B.C. In search of ‘Elixir de la Vida’ For the emperor Quin shi huang di (known for the construction of the Great Wall) to which Reishi was given as gift. After this episode, all specimens of this fungus reserved exclusively for the Chinese emperor. After this episode, all specimens of this fungus reserve exclusively for the Chinese emperor. Today the Reishi remains the «Most valuable natural substance of traditional Chinese medicine». His applications were already documented in the work of Chinese Medicine of the 16th century by the Universal Li Shih-Chen scholar. This fungus became the center of modern science in the 1950s, with more detailed investigations that were carried out mainly in China and Japan. They were carried out Infusions from Reishi dehydrated. Today, its infusion, continues to be considered a traditional form of Reishi consumption, although not the only one.
Reishi supplements
For better use of its active biomolecules, the Reishi concentrated extract. This can be found in a pure complement (Mico-Rei) Or combined with extracts from other species studied such as Mico-Mix, Mico-Five, Hifas-Equilibrium, Hifas-Menopause and Hifas-Microbiota, Hifas-Intima Oral and Papilozumib; All of them designed as quality nutraceutics in capsules. We can also find it in Children's formulas as liquid extract (Dr. Immune Five and Dr. GB). Undoubtedly, this type of superconcentrates, the extracts, are the forms from which the majority of studies on their applications have been carried out. In addition, Reishi powder is used as a supplement to prepare smoothies and hundreds of recipes (Reishi Antiox). As an innovative ingredient, the Reishi is included in natural cosmetics, either in soaps, creams or intimate lubricants such as Hifas-Sintima Gel.
FEATURED BIOMOLECULES
Among the more than 400 active biomolecules in this fungus are:
The culture of the Reishi
The reishi grows wildly in deciduous forests, especially of oaks and beechs, but is also found in coniferous forests. Not only the form and color of the Reishi itself can vary greatly, but there are also many other tree fungi of the same genre that can be easily confused with this famous fungus. Actually, it is naturally found in the Southeast Asia, Europe and North America. However, most often occurs through cultivation since the demand for this species is growing throughout the world. Reishi's production can also be carried out from trunks or serrin bags. In fact, trunks crop is one of the most traditional ways to obtain Reishi. However, the scientific interest that the Bioactive compounds of this fungus and the growing demand for products with Reishi has led to the development of new production systems and its optimization.

This species impresses in its extraordinary shape and color that reminds marine corals, however, belongs to the Fungi Kingdom or mushroom.
Naturally, it grows forming rings that become thicker inside.
In optimal conditions, it forms extensions similar to a stem that, with its rounded ends, look like horns. These specimens were particularly appreciated in ancient China.
Today we know that this particular form has been linked to its terper content. The range of colors covered by the Reishi It goes from intense red to white through yellow. His fruitful body has a woody consistency that gains hardness as time passes.

He Ganoderma lucidum It can be found in the base of trunks of dead trees or growing through some crack of the cortex given its condition of Saprophyte fungus, which feeds from organic remains of other species.
It is often confused with other similar species, belonging to the same family, such as the fungus Ganoderma Apples. The reishi is not a fungus that can be cooked like the Shiitake or the Boletus. Due to its hardness and bitter taste, it is usually prepared in infusion or consumed in smoothies and smoothies, powder, or with other foods such as yogurts, broths, soups, etc.

Premium quality, purity and sophistication in our production systems
One of the Hifas Research Lines Da Terra more powerful focuses on the continuous improvement of Cultivation of different species in bioreactors (Reishi, Mamena de León, Shiitake and Maitake) using certified ecological substrates, as well as in other processes to guarantee Excellence in the final product That develops with each fungus.
Hifas Quality System
Through a standard of its own quality, We identify biomolecules and active ingredients, We properly select the strains of fungi that contain them, we use own and specific analytical systems and we apply protocols for Analysis in different production phases. Thanks to this rigorous system we offer natural products, supplements and nutraceutics, with KNAGE QUALITY SYSTEM WARRANTY, making the difference with respect to other products in terms of purity and premium quality.
R&D and Studies with Ganoderma
R&D and Studies with Ganoderma
- Hifas da Terra has carried out the study Hifas Sibo (2023) Prospective, randomized, unicentric in which the efficacy of its own ecological cultivation of Reishi and León's hair was evaluated in combination with a low diet in Fodmaps in people with Sibo (bacterial overgrowth of the small intestine).
- Hifas da Terra is currently working on the development of new ingredients based on Reishi within the framework of the project Nutrigen 4.0, whose objective is to achieve an automated and continuous production thanks to the cultivation in latest technology.
- Within the framework of the project Fungitechnco, The benefits of Reishi strains are demonstrated (Ganoderma lucidum) cultivated by Hifas da Terra.
Curiosities
Curiosities
- The scientific name of the Reishi, Ganoderma lucidum, it comes from the Greek and refers to its beautiful natural brightness. 'Won' It means bright, ‘Derma’ It means skin and ‘Lucidum’ that shines.
- In the East, Reishi's fruitful bodies became popular as Talismans.
