Care Instructions

Grow your health with Bewilder’s Lingzhi/Reishi fungariums. Designed to make these highly-coveted medicinal mushrooms accessible to all, a potent herbal brew awaits you at the end of a 12-week meditative growing process. 

It requires no maintenance - just your admiration as your watch your Lingzhi grow with you.

Time to cultivate, slow down, and regain agency of your wellness.

Your mushrooms have already started growing and will grow towards light, so simply rotate the Fungarium every few days to control its growth direction.

Some tips to keep your Fungarium happy:

  1. Keep out of direct sunlight, but do not keep in total darkness. Ambient light is perfect.

  2. Wipe off excess condensation every 2 days!

  3. Keep in temperatures between 23C - 28C. It may be placed in air-conditioned rooms as long as the glass dome is not removed unnecessarily. Perfect for the office.

Mushrooms grown are medicinal and are safe for consumption. Your Lingzhi will grow over the next 12 weeks or so and when ready, you may harvest it to make a wellness tea.

*Keep out of reach of pets and very young children. Always consult your doctor/TCM practitioner if you are unsure whether you are able to consume lingzhi products.

Congratulations! Your meditative journey has culminated in a time to celebrate abundance and promote wellness. Here’s how to harvest your Lingzhi and brew your own wellness tea.

How to tell if the lingzhi is ready for harvest?
Lingzhi grows from the tips, which will be cream in colour when actively growing. When the growth tips start to turn brown, that is when it has stopped growing and is a sign for you to harvest them. You may also harvest them prior to this stage , although we highly encourage you to let them grow to their full potential!

Harvesting & Brewing Your Lingzhi Tea

One Fungarium Original produces enough lingzhi for 2 people.

  1. Lift the glass dome and harvest the Lingzhi by using a pair of clean scissors to snip it off at the base, removing all of the mushroom. Yes, all of it can be brewed!

  2. Use a pair of scissors to cut the fresh lingzhi into 1cm slices. Use immediately for best results. The amount of fresh Lingzhi from 1 Fungarium Original is enough for 2 people.

  3. If not consuming all of the mushrooms immediately, you may fan-dry the rest of the lingzhi until fully dried. Store in a cool airtight container for longterm storage.
    * If brewing from dried pieces, use 3-5g of dried Lingzhi per 300ml of water.

  4. Bring water to a slow boil, add mushrooms and simmer for 30mins.

  5. Enjoy your wellness tea while it’s warm!
