Reishi Mushroom Surrounding a Contaminant and Inhibiting Their Growth.

As is well known, Reishi mushrooms contain antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal properties. In this photo, the white bag shows the colonization of the Reishi mushroom mycelium. However, when we look down, we see a spot without colonization.

As mushroom growers, we know that when there is contamination in a bag, some mushrooms, such as oysters and lion's mane, will not colonize that area. Most of the time, we have to dump the bags since mold will overtake their position. It is because their enzymes are not as strong as mold or many bacteria.

However, Reishi, as you see in the picture, circles contamination and does not let it expand or colonize the bag.

This shows something very clearly: reishi mushroom consumption whether in tea or tincture form will inhibit the growth of harmful organisms in our bodies.
