The single study conducted on Hemlock Varnish Shelf extract to treat an autoimmune disease, conducted in 2001, concluded that it "improved the survival rate of lupus." The study applied several DNA techniques and found that, while Ganoderma tsugae and Ganoderma lucidum do appear to separate with some methods, the picture is unclear enough that further study is required before reliable conclusions can be drawn.

Additionally, it has whitish, rather than brownish flesh. Otherwise it is recognized, like Ganoderma lucidum, by its varnished, reddish cap and stem. Hemlock Varnish Shelf is not limited to the U.S., though, and plenty of Asian research has been conducted specifically on this species of Reishi. In the case of extracting the polysaccharides in Ganoderma tsugae, a hot water extraction or tea can be very effective; however, to best extract the triterpenoids present in G. tsugae it is best to use an alcohol or alcohol/glycerin extraction method.

Cap: 5-30 cm; at first irregularly knobby or elongated, but by maturity more or less fan-shaped; with a shiny, varnished surface often roughly arranged into lumpy "zones"; red to reddish brown when mature; when young often with zones of bright yellow and white toward the margin; occasionally with bluish tints. The single study conducted on Hemlock Varnish Shelf extract to treat an autoimmune disease, conducted in 2001, concluded that it "improved the survival rate of lupus." Pore Surface: White, becoming dingy brownish in age; usually bruising brown; 4-6 tiny (nearly invisible to the naked eye) circular pores per mm; tubes to 2 cm deep.

Spore Print: Brown. Flesh: Whitish; fairly soft when young, but soon tough. As with the Common Reishi, Hemlock Varnish Shelf extract appears to be immunomodulatory - meaning that it will adjust the immune system up or down depending on what is needed. It helps strengthen a weak immune system, but will calm an over-active immune system in cases of inflammation or autoimmune conditions.
