The Different Colours of Reishi Mushroom

The 'mushroom of immortality' and nourisher of the spirit, Reishi mushroom is revered for its ability to support a sense of calm while at the same time strengthen immunity and support the body's innate ability to handle stress.

At Inner Atlas we work with Red Reishi.
