Behind the Scenes: The Rigorous Path to Quadruple Organic Certification for Reishi
When enjoying a precious drop of Reishi spore oil or a portion of Reishi spore powder, we might not know the remarkable story behind its creation.
Recently, a segment aired on CCTV-7 titled "Reishi Wears a Bib, Undergoes Surgery, Travels to Space" sparked widespread discussion online about this legendary botanical.
Cultivating Excellence Requires Meticulous Care
Producing high-quality Reishi involves a year-long growth cycle, demanding constant attention, pest management, and weeding...
Through the lens of CCTV reporters, within the renowned Wuyi Mountains – an area steeped in cultural traditions – Fujian GANOHERB adheres to stringent quadruple organic cultivation standards. Their process includes irrigation with mountain spring water and manual weeding. For pests deep within the Reishi body, each specimen is carefully inspected and meticulously tended to with precision, ensuring removal. This painstaking process adds a layer of quality assurance to GANOHERB's Reishi.
Quadruple Organic Certification: A Commitment to Purity
Achieving organic certification is a demanding process globally:
China & USA: Require a 3-year transition period where prohibited substances must be eliminated from the land.
Japan: Mandates at least a 12-month transition period, even for newly cultivated or fallow land.
European Union: Requires a 3-year fallow period to ensure the complete elimination of any residual substances from the soil.
"Our Reishi bases are cultivated for only two years, followed by a full three-year natural rest period where the land lies fallow, allowing wild growth," the CCTV reporter learned. This land, certified organic by China, the US, Japan, and the EU for 11 consecutive years, yields Reishi known for its robust form and density. The hand-harvested spore powder, collected according to national standards, is exceptionally fresh, plump, and rich in oil content.
GANOHERB Spore Oil: The Essence of Reishi
How are premium raw materials transformed into exceptional products? To showcase modern Reishi extraction, CCTV visited GANOHERB's high-standard cleanroom facility. They witnessed the process: freshly collected spore powder is dried and sieved, then undergoes low-temperature physical wall-breaking, achieving a breakage rate exceeding 99% – significantly higher than the industry average of 90-95%.
"After wall-breaking, supercritical CO₂ extraction technology concentrates the essence." At the GANOHERB spore oil production line, reporters observed how proprietary technology separates the oil from impurities, resulting in GANOHERB Reishi Spore Oil – a product valued by those interested in traditional wellness practices.

Preserving Craftsmanship, Sharing Tradition Globally
"Premium Reishi should be shared with the world, allowing everyone to experience China's unique cultural traditions," states Li Ye, Chairman of GANOHERB. He views the preservation and global sharing of these traditions as integral to the Reishi sector.
In recent years, GANOHERB has embraced an international perspective, sharing China's ancient Reishi heritage globally and pioneering a path for Chinese Reishi brands internationally.
Today, GANOHERB Reishi reaches over 30 countries and regions across Europe, the Americas, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. It has earned international recognition, including the UN South-South Cooperation Special Contribution Award, designation as a UN Model Base for Mushroom Cultivation and Processing Techniques, and accolades as a trusted Reishi brand. These honors remind the world that exceptional Reishi comes from China, from GANOHERB.
