Wholy Reishi by Dragon Herbs is a high-quality formula with 50% reishi fruiting body extract and 50% cracked reishi spores. Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum), also known as Ling Zhi in China, is one of the best-known mushrooms in traditional Chinese herbalism and has been valued there as a tonic for centuries.
Dragon Herbs combines two different parts of the mushroom in Wholy Reishi. Half of the formula consists of a concentrated fruiting body extract and the other half of reishi spores. A daily dose of 6 capsules provides a total of 3,000 mg of this reishi formula. Reishi contributes to the normal function of the immune system* and contributes to the normal function of blood vessels.*
Duanwood Reishi and cracked spores
For the fruiting body, Dragon Herbs uses Duanwood-grown reishi. This traditional method involves growing Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) on wood, in keeping with the mushroom's natural growth habits. Dragon Herbs deliberately chooses this cultivation method as part of its focus on high-quality Reishi.
The reishi spores also undergo special processing. The spores naturally have a tough outer wall. For Wholy Reishi, these spores are ‘cracked’, breaking open the outer wall. Wholy Reishi combines these cracked reishi spores in equal proportions with the fruiting body extract: 50% fruiting body extract and 50% cracked spores.

Reishi is known as a functional mushroom with a long history of use in traditional Asian herbal medicine. In Europe, there are currently two health claims attributed to Reishi:
- Reishi contributes to the normal function of blood vessels*
- Reishi contributes to the normal function of the immune system*
Reishi is also being studied worldwide for its composition, including polysaccharides, triterpenes and other bioactive compounds.
* Health claims pending European approval.
Ganoderma lucidum, also known as Reishi or Ling Zhi, is a mushroom that has been used in traditional systems of medicine in Asia for thousands of years. In Chinese and Japanese traditions, among others, Reishi is regarded as a tonic herb that may help bring the body into balance. Classical texts often associate the mushroom with vitality and inner calm.
Today, Reishi is mainly used in food supplements, where its extract or powder is valued for its rich composition, including compounds such as beta-glucans and triterpenes.
The recommended dosage depends on the form in which Reishi is taken: powder, extract, capsule or tincture. For Reishi extracts, the usual dosage is often between 500 and 1500 mg per day, depending on the concentration and polysaccharide content. For pure mushroom powder, dosages of 2 to 5 grams per day are common. Always check the label of the specific product you are using and consult a qualified professional if in doubt.
Reishi is generally well tolerated when taken in the recommended amounts. In rare cases, mild side effects have been reported, such as dry mouth, stomach discomfort or dizziness. Caution is advised with higher doses or long-term use. Are you taking medication or do you have a medical condition? Always consult a doctor or therapist before adding Reishi to your routine.
Yes, reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) is technically edible, but its woody texture and bitter taste mean it is rarely prepared as a regular culinary mushroom. Instead, it is processed into powder, extract, tea or capsules, making its constituents more available and easier to consume.
