Our Ganoderma Lucidum wood plug spawn is ready for inoculation the second the Urban Farm-It parcel appears on your doorstep. More commonly known as the red reishi mushroom, the red reishi is part of the Ganoderma family of mushrooms.
In Asian folklore the red reishi’s powerful medicinal qualities are widely sought after. That is why red reishi spawn is often sold cut with similar but slightly different strains of spawn, meaning that sometimes you don’t grow what you get. Our fresh living spawn is double tested, meaning you are guaranteed to receive red reishi and red reishi alone.
All our spawn boasts a very low generational count. The lower the generation of the spawn, the original spore sample, so at only the fourth generation, this spawn is guaranteed to be both high-quality and dependable.
