i cant figure out why the picture is so small, so its useless but you can google it if you wanna learn something.
Some of us know how important this mushroom is to our own health.
It might not have an abundance of Nitrogen, phosphorus or potassium but it is filled with vitamins and minerals.I have run out of nutes and i was wondering what you guys thought about watering with reishi tea(not hot) i have so many ganoderma sp. that i am not sure i should use(I picked them on the street)
yes,no, or makes no difference to a plant?

edit-
from drugs.com
"A peptidoglycan from reishi contained approximately 7% protein and 76% carbohydrate. 13 Certain enzymes from reishi have been reported, 14 as well as minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Lanostan, coumarins, ergosterol, and cerevisterol are also components of reishi"
hhmmm
edit-
now that i made this im thinking to myself this shit is really potent, the smell alone will make you cringe.I can imagine the ph being anywhere near neutral. I dont have a way of testing it right now so i dont know if i need to lower it or up it.
a quick Google search for "ph of reishi tea" yielded zero results.
edit-
i found this webiste that says
"Ganoderma is widely held to be the most alkaline food in the entire world,"

so i guess thats what im going with. i would still like to hear peoples input.

Nutrients and Fertilizers- or anywhere someone might have something to say.

i have found plenty of info on the subject since i posted. i find it kinda sad tho how noone cares.
like talking to a wall...
 
Well let's hear what you have found then friend. I collected a few from the mountains this year but I would never consider wasting them on my plants. That said I do remeber something about a guy/company from idaho that was making PGRs with brown rot fungi which ganoderma falls into that category
