Ganoderma lucidum, commonly known as Ganoderma lucidum, was called Cao Rui or Cao Xian in ancient times. It has always been regarded as a good medicine for treating diseases, a symbol of good fortune and a natural ornamental. Ganoderma lucidum, as a medicine, was considered to be beneficial to the heart, calm the soul, strengthen bones and muscles in ancient times, and has a good color. Indications: neurasthenia, dizziness, insomnia, fatigue and cough.

According to modern medical research reports, Ganoderma lucidum has many functions, such as fixing sperm, diminishing inflammation, relieving pain, resisting bacteria, immunity, detoxicating, diuresis and purifying blood. It has certain curative effect on cancer, cerebral hemorrhage, heart disease, gastrointestinal diseases, leukemia, neurasthenia, chronic bronchitis and other diseases.

As a healthy food, Ganoderma lucidum contains two most precious ingredients. One is organic germanium, the content of which is 800-2000 ppm, which is 3-6 times that of ginseng. Germanium can eliminate cholesterol, fat, thrombus and other impurities in blood, and make blood circulation smooth. It can also enhance the ability of red blood cells to absorb oxygen and promote aging, so it has the functions of fitness, beauty and delaying aging.

Second, polymer polysaccharides can enhance the human immune system and improve the resistance to diseases. It can also inhibit the deterioration and spread of cancer cells. At present, Japan, the United States and other countries and Hong Kong are setting off a "Ganoderma lucidum fever", advocating eating more healthy food-Ganoderma lucidum, in order to achieve the purpose of prolonging life.

Ganoderma lucidum mainly contains carbohydrates and nitrogen compounds, such as glucose, sucrose, cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. It also needs some mineral elements such as phosphorus, calcium, magnesium and trace vitamins. In artificial cultivation, the culture medium is made of sawdust, bagasse and cottonseed hull. With proper amount of bran, sucrose, gypsum and other auxiliary materials, it can basically meet the nutritional requirements of Ganoderma lucidum.

Ganoderma lucidum is a fungus with high temperature and high humidity, and its growth and development need high temperature and high humidity. The optimum temperature for mycelium growth is 24-27℃, and it grows slowly below 6℃ or above 36℃. The fruiting body differentiates the fastest and develops best at around 27℃, and it is difficult to form a lid below 20℃.

In the solid development stage, the relative humidity of air is required to be kept at 85-95%. If the humidity is low, it is difficult to form fruiting bodies. However, static high humidity will hinder the transport or transfer of nutrients from mycelium to fruiting body. Therefore, while adjusting the temperature and humidity, we should pay attention to ventilation to ensure the normal development of fruiting bodies to meet the needs of oxygen.

The mycelium of Ganoderma lucidum can grow normally in dark environment, but the formation of fruiting body needs some scattered light. In the dark or weak light, bacteria can not be formed or can only differentiate into small and thin bacteria caps. The young entity has positive phototropism, for example, the light comes from a single direction, and the growth tends to the light source side. If the light source direction is often changed or the culture bottle is moved many times, the bottle cap will be easily deformed. Ganoderma lucidum likes to grow in weak acid environment, and the mycelium grows fastest at pH 4-6.

Ganoderma lucidum has been regarded as a symbol of auspiciousness, wealth, beauty and longevity since ancient times. It is called "Cao Xian" and "Cao Rui". China traditional medicine has always been regarded as a precious Chinese herbal medicine for nourishing and strengthening the body. Legend has it that ganoderma lucidum has the effect of bringing back the dead and living forever.

A well-known fairy tale "The Legend of the White Snake" tells the story of the white snake stealing fairy grass to save Xu Xian. Two thousand years ago, Shennong in the Eastern Han Dynasty listed Ganoderma lucidum as the top grade in the Classic of Materia Medica, arguing that "long-term eating will keep you healthy and live forever".
