Do Eastern Hemlock Reishi mushrooms have the same health benefits as the Reishi mushrooms used in Chinese medicine? Newenglandfag here, someone who was into mushrooms told me they were looking for Reishi mushrooms and they had a bunch of health benefits because they had been used in Chinese medicine for thousands of years, but I feel skeptical because they must be a slightly different species after evolving separately on another continent for millenia. How similar are our Reishi mushrooms up here to the Chinese ones? And are the health benefits even legit?
