How to Prepare Mushroom Tea
Mushrooms are packed with vital nutrients, and functional mushrooms can be used to make a tasty and healing tea that promotes overall wellbeing. By steeping mushrooms in hot water for several minutes before infusing with herbs and spices for flavoring purposes and further healing benefits. Mushroom tea can be made using one type of mushroom or multiple types, depending on desired results and desired health benefits.

A lack of production skills could also impede market expansion; specifically reishi cultivation requires time and energy that many novices find difficult to master.
