- Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) Extract: Meet Asia’s “Immortality Mushroom” The reishi mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum) is a rare mushroom native to East Asia that grows on the stumps of aging trees (especially maples) in hot and humid regions. It has a long, rich history in many Asian cultures, which hold the mushroom in high regard. While naturally rich in carbohydrates, protein, and fiber, reishi mushrooms aren’t made to be eaten—instead, they need to be carefully dosed and used as a supplement, as they can cause negative side effects in high doses. When dosed correctly, however, reishi mushrooms are believed to have beneficial effects on wellness. This extract, which is made from organically grown reishi mushrooms, contains a minimum of 30% polysaccharides. To achieve such high concentrations, 15–18kg of dried mushroom powder is required to produce 1kg of extract. Ingredients: 100% powdered reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) A staple Eastern holistic preparation Deemed Asia’s “mushroom of immortality,” Rich in beta-glucans, triterpenoids, and antioxidants Contains at least 30% polysaccharides 100% natural Advisory information Add to food, tea, or smoothies, or encapsulate in gel caps.

CD - THE BELFAST SESSIONS
This, our latest collection of songs, was recorded at RedBox Studios in Belfast. We’ve wanted to record there for awhile now and finally the timing was right for all. Dónal O’Connor one of the owners, produced it with expertise, poise, patience and not a few threats, the main one being “no more Guinness till youse get this track right.” Inspirational words indeed! He was somehow able to corral us and steer us in the right direction on each song. I’m sure he’d love to work with us again – maybe! We had a great time all together recording there, and hopefully dear fans you’ll enjoy listening. In these uncertain times remember, music hath charms to soothe a savage breast. I think that was a quote from Paul McCartney, or possibly Bob Dylan. Enjoy!
