the Chinese Mushroom of Immortality because it's an excellent immune modulator and helps your body adapt to challenges from different environmental stresses.
 
Lingzhi, Ganoderma lingzhi, also known as reishi, is a polypore fungus ("bracket fungus") belonging to the genus Ganoderma. Its red-varnished, kidney-shaped cap and peripherally inserted stem gives it a distinct fan-like appearance. When fresh, the lingzhi is soft, cork-like, and flat. It lacks gills on its underside, and instead releases its spores via fine pores. Depending on the age, the pores on its underside may be white or brown. The lingzhi mushroom is used in traditional Chinese medicine.  Lingzhi may be cultivated on hardwood logs, sawdust or woodchips.
 
One of the most important effects of the reishi mushroom is that it can boost your immune system
While some details are still uncertain, test-tube studies have shown that reishi can affect the genes in white blood cells, which are critical parts of your immune system.
What’s more, these studies have found that some forms of reishi may alter inflammation pathways in white blood cells .
Research in cancer patients has shown that some of the molecules found in the mushroom can increase the activity of a type of white blood cell called natural killer cells .
Natural killer cells fight infections and cancer in the body .
Another study found that reishi can increase the number of other white blood cells (lymphocytes) in those with colorectal cancer .
Although most immune system benefits of reishi mushroom have been seen in those who are ill, some evidence has shown that it can help healthy people, too.
In one study, the fungus improved lymphocyte function, which helps fight infections and cancer, in athletes exposed to stressful conditions .
However, other research in healthy adults showed no improvement in immune function or inflammation after 4 weeks of taking reishi extract .
Overall, it is clear that reishi impacts white blood cells and immune function. More research is needed to determine the extent of the benefits in the healthy and ill.
