Background

Ganoderma lucidum is a medicinal fungus belonging to the order Polyporus, generally refers to the genus Ganoderma, which includes more than 200 different species. They are mainly distributed in China, Taiwan and Japan. G. lucidum usually grows in the place with high humidity and dim light, such as the roots of rotting trees. Since G. lucidum only grows in certain species, the wild G. lucidum becomes scarce. Besides, the quality of the wild G. lucidum is hard to control. Therefore, most of the G. lucidum products currently on the market are produced by artificial cultivation.

G. lucidum has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for over 2000 years. It is one of the most famous Chinese medicines. According to the scientific researches, G. lucidum contains numerous active compounds, including more than 140 triterpenes and rich polysaccharides. "Compendium of Materia Medica" records that G. lucidum can be used for liver disease, cough, palpitation, loss of appetite and insomnia. Furthermore, recent studies have shown that G. lucidum has the effects on promoting immune system, preventing cardiovascular diseases and improving neurasthenia. Such evidence leads G. lucidum to a new level. In addition, since it is hard to obtain G. lucidum fruit body with stable quality, G. lucidum mycelium with stable quality produced by submerged cultivation has gradually become one of the most popular health products.
