Whereas, reishi acts as an adaptogen and supports our immune system Mushrooms can be an excellent source of dietary fiber, vitamin d, antioxidants, and digestive enzymes.
I have tried mushrooms from a variety of sources, some were better than others. A few years ago discovered Om Mushroom a few years ago at Expo East. Om Mushroom has an organic line of mushroom products that include individual mushrooms as well as their personalized blends. One of my favorite blends that I have used for a few years now is the Beauty Blend.
