When he dies after seeing her true form, she risks a journey into the supernatural world to obtain the magical herb that can restore him. In versions identifying that treasure as lingzhi, the mushroom known in English as reishi becomes the heart of a story about devotion, courage and the longing for renewed life.

Reishi, known as ling zhi in China, has a longstanding East Asian reputation as a vitality and longevity tonic. Shiitake and maitake belong to East Asian food traditions; turkey tail and lion’s mane also have histories in Asian medical systems. Today, lion’s mane is studied for cognition, while reishi, shiitake, maitake and turkey tail attract interest for immune-related compounds. Cordyceps is associated with Chinese tonic traditions and modern interest in stamina. Chaga has a separate folk history in Russia and northern regions, including use as a tea. Added beta-glucans and larch-derived arabinogalactan are polysaccharides studied in modern nutrition.
