  1. I love how on point this game is in regards to reishi usage. I personally have been treating a loved ones parkinson's with reishi for 8+ years. The health benefits are beyond belief. There is something I would like to bring up regarding common misconceptions with "reishi" mushroom, and as a mycologist with 22 years experience, a USDA funded research center, and an indoor vertical gourmet and medicinal mushroom farm with the highest per acre valuation of any crop in the whole of the USA, one could say I am an authority on all matters mycological in nature, Paul Stamets is my hero. ( I'm also lead for one of the teams that entered the deep space food challenge competition which NASA along with the Canadian Space Agency are in charge of) The red reishi mushroom asset in game are commonly referred to as Lingzhi (wikipedia is a prime example), or Ganoderma Lingzhi which is completely incorrect. If one were to google "reishi",most results lead people to believe Ganoderma Lingzhi is a red reishi mushroom. The correct scientific name for a red reishi Mushroom is Ganoderma Lucindum. In China, G. Lucindum is called lingzhi, and has been for over a millennia. Alternately in Japan, the name for the red polypore mushroom commonly mistaken as Lingzhi, which is part of the Ganodermatacea family is reishi, or mannentake. So when you are preparing a red reishi mushroom that was found inna woods somewhere in canada know that you are not consuming G.Lingzhi, rather G.Lucindum. The reasons for this intentional misnaming by some parts of the scientific community is geopolitical in nature, so I will not go any further than saying some people on this lovely planet from which we were all born in are hell bent on rewriting established scientific facts. The reasons for such actions are also geopolitical in nature, so I'm going to leave it at that. I'm on the spectrum so the little details are what gets me, so apologies if this seems inconsequential, or making mountains out of molehills.
