Reishi Fatigue Randomized TrialBackground Chronic fatigue syndrome, or myalgic encephalomyelitis, is characterized by persistent, unexplained exhaustion unalleviated by rest, with a pathophysiology distinct from underlying medical conditions.2Xun Y (2026)Effectiveness and Safety of a Supplement Containing a Pharmacologically Active Basidiomycete Mushroom for Chronic Fatigue and Post-COVID-19 Fatigue Syndrome: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial.
Reishi Fatigue Randomized TrialIt is diagnostically complex due to symptoms that overlap with other disorders and the absence of definitive biomarkers, contributing to limited therapeutic options in current medicine.2Xun Y (2026)Effectiveness and Safety of a Supplement Containing a Pharmacologically Active Basidiomycete Mushroom for Chronic Fatigue and Post-COVID-19 Fatigue Syndrome: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial.
Reishi Fatigue Randomized TrialIt also critically evaluates the current level of evidence and highlights key limitations related to standardization, variability of extracts, and clinical applicability.3Sadowska Anna (2026)Medicinal Mushrooms and Their Bioactive Compounds: From Traditional Use to Therapeutic Potential

Reishi Fatigue Randomized TrialGanoderma lucidum In Chinese culture, lingzhi () was celebrated as a superior tonic and a symbol of spiritual power and immortality, and was regarded as the “herb of spiritual potency,” associated with success, well-being, divine power, and long life.3Sadowska Anna (2026)Medicinal Mushrooms and Their Bioactive Compounds: From Traditional Use to Therapeutic Potential
Reishi Fatigue Randomized Trial1 Approximately 2.2 to 3.8 million fungal species have been identified worldwide, with about 2000 regarded as edible and over 200 recognized for their medicinal properties.3Sadowska Anna (2026)Medicinal Mushrooms and Their Bioactive Compounds: From Traditional Use to Therapeutic Potential
