Good evening. I hope this is ok to post here. I've been trying to find purple reishi mushroom for sale for some time. I'm hoping to find it in powder form in bulk. I have seen it as a liquid on amazon but otherwise all I find is red. I have read that purple is more of a kidney tonic than a heart tonic. Can anyone help guide me to this elusive purple form.I've looked everywhere. Even in a reishi Facebook group! A woman said she had it, sent me an invoice and it was for red reishi .I have even seen a product on Amazon that has purple and red and yellow and in but not just purple.I would really appreciate any advisement. Thanks!

Red Reishi is believed to be the most powerful of the different types/

As far as I'm aware, Dragon Herbs has the only purple reishi I've seen. I've used it and it was quite tasty, you can usually find it cheaper though iHerb or Amazon.
If you're looking for bulk, I'd suggest buying bulk reishi powder that includes reishi spores, which are also supposed to have more of a kidney-tonifying effect. Jing Herbs sells it in bulk, as does Primal Herbs I believe.
Further, you could always buy bulk dual extracted reishi extract, and then add kidney tonifying herbs such as rehmannia, he shou wu, cistanche, etc.

You should not choose ground-up powders, because non-extracted fungal/mushroom products are undigestible for most people.
Many sellers are trying to make you believe they are selling extracts while they're just offering powder without any specification. Aloha Medicinals e.g. are offering e.g. cheap mushroom supplements including one with purple Reishi, but without exception all of these are just powder. On top of that, most are not even 'mushroom' ( meaning fruiting body-based) but mycelium grown on grains. These are not only indigestible but also contain a lot of starch from the undigested grains / rice. They will stimulate your bowels, but that's about it.
See this link for the background. It's the common bioavailability issue. Another, similar link is dedicated to reishi supplements in particular though purple reishi is not mentioned.

Interesting about the anxiety aspect. In all honesty no, I didn't feel any difference using it than with regular reishi. Worth the slight price increase? Maybe, but I can't say I noticed a difference from it, which isn't to say it isn't doing something extra under the radar.
