Thanks for the information, can you by this in local stores or just on line?

 

You can find it growing in your back yard. I have some growing at the edge of my driveway right now. :)

 

Of course, you can always find the tea or extract at your local health food store, or perhaps a chinese market if you have one nearby.

 

When I worked at a health food store some 10 years ago, we had a bottle of pills that was a mixture of shitake, maitake, and reishi, very healthy stuff. :)

Thank's freeztar.
