REISHI

Ganoderma spp.

Australian-grown functional mushroom extract

There’s tricks to a better night sleep. Two hours before bed screens down and a squirt of Reishi in your evening drink, dim lights, a cool room, slow breathing or stretching, can all help you wind down.

Pairs well for Shiitake and Turkey Tail for overnight repair and recovery.

Purity

Fruiting Bodies

Each species is grown on its optimal substrate. For wood-loving mushrooms like Reishi, this means organic hardwood. Mushrooms are harvested at peak maturity, and the substrate is composted after use.

Efficacy

Dual-Extracted

Dr Kyle Thomson (biotech PhD and MYCRO co-founder) leads our extraction lab, the only dedicated fungal biotech facility in Australia.

Traceability

Australian Inputs

All inputs: Reishi mushrooms, purified water, sugarcane ethanol and certified organic apple cider vinegar are sourced within Australia, with visibility end to end.

Potency

Full Strength

Each millilitre contains one gram of Reishi. The 1:1 ratio preserves bioactive compounds without dilution. All mushrooms are dual-extracted; alcohol is removed from the Zero-Alcohol range.

Choice

Two Formats

The Original range is alcohol-based for maximum solubility and compound availability. The Zero-Alcohol range is alcohol-free and offered for those who avoid alcohol.

Reishi extracted into a liquid form so your body can absorb it quickly and consistently.

A functional mushroom, Reishi has been written about for over two thousand years.

In the 1970s, Japanese and Chinese pharmacologists isolated triterpenes and polysaccharides from Reishi that were found to modulate immune responses and stress hormones.

Since then, studies have explored its potential to improve sleep quality, reduce fatigue, and support cardiovascular function.

Reishi’s compounds are also known to assist in maintaining balance in the body’s stress response, what modern science calls homeostasis.

Reishi supports the body’s rest-and-repair systems, balancing the stress response and calming the nervous system through the modulation of cortisol and immune signalling.
It doesn’t sedate. It restores equilibrium.

Immediately (first few days)
Some notice deeper breaths or a sense of calm before sleep. Others simply unwind more easily in the evening. These early effects come from triterpenes influencing the body’s parasympathetic (rest) response, slowing the internal pace.

After a few weeks
With consistent use, Reishi helps regulate the body’s circadian rhythm, supporting better sleep quality, reduced fatigue, and balanced immunity. Research shows extracts taken over 4–8 weeks can improve sleep efficiency and stress resilience without dependency.

Over months of consistent use
Reishi becomes part of the body’s rhythm, improving recovery, supporting liver detox pathways, and building emotional steadiness. Many users report waking clearer, not groggy, and handling stress with more composure.

A note on the science
Reishi’s bioactivity comes from two major groups, triterpenes (alcohol-soluble) and polysaccharides (water-soluble). MYCRO’s dual extraction captures both, preserving their natural synergy instead of prioritising one at the other’s expense.

Reishi is cultivated at our solar-powered farm in Ballarat, Victoria.

This slow-growing species requires precision and patience, with fruiting bodies taking months to mature.

Tbe grow room is kept at elevated humidity and moderate warmth, encouraging the varnished, lacquer-like surface that signals triterpene development. The air moves slowly, echoing the forest’s stillness, a living continuation of its natural life cycle.

Once the fruiting bodies deepen to a rich red-brown and the edges curl inward, they are harvested and dried under controlled conditions to preserve their complex chemistry.

The spent substrate is composted and cycled back into the system, returning nutrients to new growth, completing the sustainable loop of life that Reishi has always represented.

In our biotech lab, Dr Kyle Thomson and our team fractionate each harvested mushroom; that is, we divide it into distinct chemical groups (fractions) based on solubility, structure, and behavior.

Each fraction is then run through a bespoke extraction method. We carefully adjust: temperature, agitation, dilution, extraction time, and sonication settings, to extract and preserve each class of bioactive compounds without damage.

We avoid concentrating only one compound (e.g. beta-glucans). Instead, after the individual extractions, the fractions are recombined to mirror the natural “full-spectrum” balance found in the mushroom.

For stability and versatility, we use dual-extraction (water + alcohol). Some compounds (like triterpenoids, sterols, flavonoids) are not water-soluble and require alcohol to unlock them.

In our final blend, we maintain a 1:1 extract ratio (i.e. 1000 mg dual-extracted mushroom per mL).

To support consumer needs, we also offer alcohol-free versions. The alcohol is removed (via rotary evaporation), and the extract is stabilised with certified organic apple cider vinegar, instead of glycerin and synthetic preservatives.

All our ingredients are 100% Australian.

Reishi is a collective name for several species within the Ganoderma genus, often written as Ganoderma spp. to reflect its taxonomic complexity.

Thousands of years of traditional use, combined with decades of scientific misclassification between Ganoderma lucidum and Ganoderma lingzhi, have created significant confusion in the literature. What was once referred to simply as “Reishi” is now understood to represent a group of closely related species, each with slightly different bioactive profiles.

Modern research has shifted from naming to quantifying biomarkers, particularly triterpenes and polysaccharides, as the true indicators of potency and authenticity.

We leverage this global field of research to select domestically available Ganoderma strains with demonstrably high triterpenoid content, verified through both analytical testing and controlled cultivation trials. These strains exhibit the characteristic varnished surface, red-brown pigmentation, and dense fruiting texture associated with mature, bioactive Reishi.

As evening settles, shake your Reishi bottle and feel the weight of the day start to ease.
Draw up one millilitre into the dropper, the dark liquid catching the last light before dusk.

Add it to a glass of water or warm tea. The extract unfolds slowly, the earthy aroma softening the air. Grounding, calm, familiar.
The swirl fades to stillness, like the quiet that follows after you’ve turned everything off.

Drink slowly. Let it linger on your tongue, trace its way down, and remind your body it’s safe to rest.
This is the shift, from drive to drift, from doing to being.
