What Are Reishi Spores & Why Are They Special?
Organic Reishi Mushroom Spores are the shell-broken spores or “seeds” of the mushroom. In fact, Reishi spores are estimated to be 17-80x more potent than regular Reishi. Moreover, Reishi spores are rich in triterpenes, which is one of the mushroom’s active health properties. To be clear, it takes around 1000kg of Reishi Mushroom to make 1- 3kg of Reishi Spores! And that’s why spore powder is highly prized and more precious than all the other forms of Reishi–it’s potency baby! However, reishi spores have a thick wall, that until broken, are difficult to absorb by the body. The spores must be cracked with special technology to ensure optimal absorption in the body and there are only a few companies that do just this.
Spores are 17-80x more potent than other Reishi products. For hormone balance, stress reduction, mental health, cognitive function, immune support and so many more benefits, you need Reishi spores!
Benefits of Reishi Spores…
Mushrooms in general are amazing foods for modulating the immune system and strengthening your body’s natural immune defense. However, Reishi Spores have a significant amount of health properties, due to their potency!

✔️Liver Detoxification/Support ✔️Improving Vitality
✔️Hormone Support ✔️Allergy Support
✔️Improved Sleep ✔️Skin Support & Improvements
✔️Immune Modulation ✔️General Wellness
Now that we understand this empowering information…let’s upgrade our health and utilize this amazing superfood by using it in a delicious dessert recipe! The neutral, earthy-flavored powder is wonderful for boosting any food or health drink!
Reishi Spore Chocolate Cup Recipe
We can have it ALL! Up-grade your Immune System with Mushrooms & Organic Cacao. These IMMUNE STRENGTHENING Reishi Spore Chocolate Cups (GF, DF, RSF) are so so delicious, easy to make and a wonderful way to support your immune health. Because Reishi Spore powder has a deliciously smooth taste and combines well with creamy textures and flavors, like coconut and cacao butter, it’s no wonder why it goes perfect in chocolate recipes!
Makes 5-6 Mini Chocolate Cups
Ingredients:
– 1/4 c. Organic Cacao Powder
– 3 tbs. Organic Coconut Oil
– 2-3 tbs. Organic Cacao Butter or 2 Squares
– 1-2 tsp. Organic Reishi Spore Powder (I also like this brand and Reishi Spore Coffee)
– 3 tbs. Organic Maple Syrup or Organic Molasses
– 1 tsp. Sacred 7 Mushroom Powder(optional)
– 1 tsp. Organic Chaga Powder(optional)
– Mini cupcake baking cups
Directions:
Use a double boiler to melt and combine all your ingredients together. You can also just place a glass bowl over a pot of simmering water if you don’t have a glass double boiler. Be patient and stir well until the cacao powder, coconut oil, cacao butter, maple syrup and Reishi spore powder are well combined and a liquid texture. Once everything is melted, well combined and a liquid, you are ready to pour this into your cups. Place your mini cupcake baking cups on a tray and pour your warm chocolate Reishi spore liquid into your cups. Next, place your tray in the refrigerator to let set for about 30 minutes to an hour. Once the cups have set, they are ready to enjoy!
P.S. These are gut-friendly and due to the caprylic acid found in the coconut oil, these would be a great anti-candida dessert!
To Your Health,
