What does REISHI mean in Scrabble?
noun
A glossy-capped mushroom that grows on dead or dying wood and is used in traditional remedies.
Reishi is a Japanese name for a tough, shiny, reddish bracket fungus found in Asia and North America. It is too woody to eat like an ordinary mushroom, so it is usually dried and brewed as a tea or sold as powder and capsules. Supporters credit it with calming and health-giving effects, though such claims are mostly traditional.
