Basic Introduction of Wuzhishan Ganoderma

Ganoderma Lucidum Karst (scientific name: Ganoderma Lucidum Karst) has an umbrella shaped appearance, with a kidney shaped, semi-circular or nearly circular cap, and is the fruiting body of the porous fungus Ganoderma lucidum. It has the effects of tonifying qi and calming the mind, relieving cough and asthma, and is used for dizziness, insomnia, palpitations, shortness of breath, and cough and asthma caused by fatigue

It mainly contains amino acids, peptides, proteins, fungal lysozyme, as well as sugars (reducing sugars and polysaccharides), ergosterol, triterpenoids, coumarin glycosides, volatile oils, stearic acid, benzoic acid, alkaloids, vitamin B2 and C, etc; Spores also contain mannitol and trehalose

The size and morphology of Ganoderma lucidum vary greatly. The cap of a large individual is 20 × 10cm, about 2cm thick, while that of a general individual is 4 × 3cm, 0.5-1cm thick. There are numerous small holes below, and the opening is white or light brown, with 4-5 per millimeter. The opening is circular, and the inner wall is the fruiting layer. Spores are produced at the top of the basidium. Lingzhi has varying degrees of therapeutic effects on neurasthenia, hyperlipidemia, coronary heart disease angina, arrhythmia, Keshan disease, altitude sickness, hepatitis, hemorrhagic fever, indigestion, tracheitis, and other conditions. It should be noted that using Ganoderma lucidum as a dietary therapy alone cannot achieve significant preventive and therapeutic effects. It is recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine formulas such as Cassia seed and Black Oolong to make Juewu Tang tea, a classic herbal tea, which can effectively prevent and treat conditions such as hyperlipidemia. Pharmacological studies have shown that Ganoderma lucidum has multiple biological activities

How to distinguish the authenticity of Wuzhishan Ganoderma lucidum

Thirdly, it's about looking at insect eyes. Wild Ganoderma lucidum grows in the wild and will definitely encounter pest invasion, so irregular insect eyes will be left below the fruiting body, which is inevitable. If there are no insect eyes, it can only indicate that the Ganoderma lucidum is artificially cultivated. Artificially cultivated Ganoderma lucidum generally uses pesticides to control pest problems, and there are almost no insect eyes

Fourthly, it is to smell and taste. The medicinal value of wild Ganoderma lucidum is becoming increasingly apparent. How can it be called medicine? It can treat diseases, prevent diseases, and resist diseases. The taste of wild Ganoderma lucidum is bitter, and it is very bitter. Generally speaking, the more bitter it is, the more significant its medicinal effects will be. As the ancient saying goes, "Good medicine tastes bitter, bitter medicine tastes good. Wild Ganoderma lucidum has no odor, and the reason why Ganoderma lucidum bought in pharmacies has an odor is usually due to the mixing of Chinese medicinal materials, which leads to a cross flavor
