A note from Ginger:

Ganoderma is truly one of the most revered medicinal mushrooms on the planet. The OG Ganoderma lucidum was once considered to impart immortality, and was kept for royalty. It has an affinity for the immune system, the heart and the lungs, for starters. Ganoderma's polysaccharides are best extracted into water, so if you make a tincture make sure to do it as a double extraction.
