Welcome to Day #6 of Chocolate & Mushrooms Theme Week.

Today's Reishi Dark Chocolate 70% Cacao (bar) was from Fruiting Bodies LLC (Muscatine, IA).

The company currently offers a line of three different mushroom chocolates (Cordyceps, Lion's Mane and Reishi), as well as mushroom tinctures and essences.

This dark chocolate bar was made using Golden Reishi (Ganaderma curtisii)--a bracket fungus, native to North America, found in hardwood forests in the Eastern U.S. and closely related to Asian Reishi mushrooms (e.g. Ganaderma lucidum).

Aroma and flavor notes included: pleasant dark chocolate, light brown or unrefined sugar, and very faint (barely detectable) mushroom.

Texture: relatively smooth texture; the reishi extract was completely incorporated into the chocolate.

I appreciated the balanced flavors and short list of organic ingredients, and the fact that they do third-party testing with their mushrooms/fungi.

Ingredients: "organic chocolate liquor, organic coconut palm sugar, organic cacao fat, organic reishi (Ganoderma curtisii) concentrate."
