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.

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. Commercially cultivated in Taiwan and exported to mainland China as a medicinal mushroom, Hemlock Reishi has traditionally been used in Chinese medicine to treat inflammatory diseases, particularly asthma and autoimmune conditions. 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. 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. In cases of asthma or lung inflammation, there have been three studies confirming the effectiveness of Hemlock Varnish Shelf. It's been found to "exert anti-inflammatory effects on airway responses" in cases of allergic asthma and broncheoalveolar inflammation.

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. 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.

With Ganoderma there is still an ongoing scientific debate as to which species of Ganoderma have the most medicinal properties. Like G. lucidum, G. tsugae is said to have medicinal properties. Ganoderma tsugae, also known as Hemlock varnish shelf, is a flat polypore mushroom of the genus Ganoderma.
