Reishi spore powder: Microscopically observed spores are oval, and a single Ganoderma lucidum spore is only 4-6 microns. If there is a microscope, randomly take a small amount of Ganoderma lucidum spore powder sample and observe it under a microscope (magnified to more than 600 times), and you can clearly see the oval spores without any other shape, that is, pure spore powder.

Reishi powder: observed under a microscope into thin strips, much larger than Ganoderma lucidum spore powder, about 10-20 times the size,
