The 4 reasons our Reishi is the best
Our Reishi is 100% Australian Grown and organic. We freeze dry our mushrooms: Our unique drying process is (almost) the nutritional equivalent to eating the mushroom fresh. We use the whole mushroom, which contains the whole spectrum of nutrients, vitamins and compounds found in nature. We include the mycelium: The ‘roots’ of the mushroom great for gut health + contains active compounds not found in the fruiting body.
Every batch is tested, verified and traceable
1. Australian Grown
Mushrooms can absorb elements from their environment.
Growing in Australia allows for greater control over growing conditions and quality.

The 4 things you should consider as a first time buyer of Reishi mushroom:
1. Whole Food vs. Extracts
An extract isolates one or two compounds from a plant or mushroom, suspending them in water or alcohol to create a liquid. While cost-effective, this process strips away the full spectrum of benefits found in the whole mushroom.
Take Reishi, for example. We likely haven’t even identified half of its active compounds, let alone managed to extract them all. Over thousands of years, this mushroom has evolved into the superfood it is today. To think we can improve on that by isolating compounds in alcohol or water feels shortsighted.
Humans and mushrooms have co-evolved, making the whole mushroom easily recognisable and beneficial to the human body. Isolated compounds lack this synergy. That’s why we prefer whole food Reishi supplements that retain the full spectrum of nutrients and active compounds—even the ones science hasn’t yet named.
2. Heavy Metals and Pollution Concerns
Mushrooms are highly absorbent, which is why seasoned foragers avoid picking them near roadsides, where they absorb pollution. They can also take up heavy metals from contaminated water sources.
For this reason, we exclusively use Australian-grown mushrooms. Even with "organic" certifications, we’re skeptical of imported mushrooms due to potential pollution and questionable growing practices. Australia’s reputation for clean air and water makes it the obvious choice for the highest quality mushrooms.
3. Drying Methods Matter
Fresh is best, but drying is necessary to preserve mushrooms. Unfortunately, traditional drying methods can lead to nutrient loss. That’s why we use freeze-drying, a process that rapidly lowers the temperature to -65°C, minimising nutrient degradation.
The result is a product that’s almost nutritionally identical to fresh mushrooms. While freeze-drying is expensive, we believe it’s worth the investment for the quality it delivers.
4. Including the Mycelium
Some claim that mycelium—the root-like structure of mushrooms—is just “filler.” We’ve found no evidence to support this. Mycelium, like roots in other plants (e.g., valerian or ashwagandha), contains significant benefits.
So why do some brands dismiss mycelium? Likely because overseas suppliers often skip the extra work required to include it. But to us, mycelium is an essential part of delivering the full benefits of the mushroom.
When is the best time of day to take Reishi?
In the evening about an hour before going to bed.
Does it matter where Reishi is grown?
Originally found in the dense, humid forests of Asia, our Australian grown Reishi is grown right here in Australia.
Reishi typically grows on logs of hardwood trees, although we use certified organic brown rice as its substrate, where its mycelium develops over several months before the distinctive cap begins to emerge. Patience is key in cultivating reishi, as it can take up to a year for the mushroom to reach maturity.
Mushrooms will absorb any heavy metals and pollutants in the air or water, so it’s incredibly important that they’re grown in a clean environment. We grow our Lion’s Mane right here in Australia, to the highest certified organic standards, to ensure it’s the best quality on the planet.

How does Forest Super Foods compare?
Other brands cut corners. We never do. Here's what sets us apart:
All of our super foods are whole foods with as minimal processing as possible.
Whilst other brands add fillers, alcohol and water to boost their profit margins -
we provide our super foods as whole foods – just like nature intended.
This means more active compounds and better bioavailability.
I am happy with quality of this ashwagandha, however unfortunately I seem to have an allergic reaction to the capsules.
It's good if I split the capsules and mix the ashwagandha with a drink, however there is something about the capsules that doesn't seem right.
I don't get this reaction with natures sunshine capsules so perhaps there are some pointers here for product improvement.
Just about to finish my first bottle of Forest Superfoods Reishi Mushrooms...
Will be ordering again soon, it's really helping with handling stressful situations.
4 capsules in the evening, to chill out for the night....

Incredible! Reishi has not only helped me with my overall energy levels and quality of life, but it has CURED my cat allergies, and so far I think my hay fever too! Amazing. Such a great product with magical health benefits 🌟
I'm utterly thrilled with Forest Super foods attitude to health and customer service. They go above and beyond. As I have underlying health issues I reached out to Customer Service to make sure what I was thinking of purchasing was the correct choice. Their nutritionist got back to me very quickly with alternatives she thought would be better, which I then purchased. The information she provided was amazing and just made me feel really safe. They really invest in their culture.
Obsessed with everything from Forest Superfoods and the Reishi is up there with one of my favourites! Feel much more calm, great before bed with my Ashwagandha!
I was initially hesitant to fork out for a bundle of three mushrooms capsules due to the cost, but I do not regret it! As you can see from my half empty bottles, I’m halfway through a month’s supply of mushrooms (including this variety) and I couldn’t be happier with the purchase. After a terrible stomach bug, I wanted to rebuild my gut and reset my health. I feel great using all three in combination and do believe my gut is better, I feel calmer, and my health is rebuilding. This company is always fantastic to deal with and I’m a repeat customer who will keep coming back.
I’m a cyclist, reishi mushrooms (2 capsules a day) has improved my performance. I can hold my threshold heart rate longer and recovery during a ride is quicker.
09/23 My order to Forest foods was for a trial run of testing the benefits of mushrooms. I decided on Reishi, never heard of it, so l did a bit of research and l wasnt disappointed.
I wanted to boost my immune system and to control my blood sugars. My experience has been very positive given that l check my sugars regularly, they seem better controlled. If you haven't gone into the mushroom world yet, check it out for yourself!
I’m getting 3 products, Reishi, Lions Mane and Turkey Tail. Take them daily.
I’m sure they help me on my MS journey. Quality products. Speedy delivery. Very happy customer.
Cheers, Donna
The order arrived within a couple of days and beautifully boxed as well. I am very impressed with the Reishi Mushroom Capsules. I have more energy during the day even after a daily brisk 2km long walk. I also stopped taking the pharmaceutical meds for high cholesterol and I eat super healthy as well. I am very happy to have found Forest Super Foods!!!

I’ve been taking Lion’s Mane capsules from Forest Superfoods for about 18months. I was doing a degree at University and being a mature student I was having some trouble retaining the information.
So I started on Lion’s Mane and U kid you not within a week the difference was remarkable.I didn’t feel like I was drowning in research. I became more focused and interestingly more calmer. So I’ve never stopped taking them and I’m 65yrs young. Lol
I do recommend although I have just been diagnosed ontop of my menapause Hyperthyroidism, so my thyroids are over active and have nodules so at this stage until I do some research what I can take
