By Zoltán Major
Over the past few years, many Ganoderma products - contain Ganoderma Lucidum - appeared on the Internet. What is the Ganoderma Lucidum? Briefly, it is worth knowing about it: Ganoderma Lucidum Ganoderma Lucidum is the scientific name of a mushroom that also known as Lingzhi in China, Reishi in Japan, Youngchi in Korea, furthermore it has variety of names in some areas: "Mushroom of immortality", "The King of Herbs", "Miraculous King of Herbs", "Divine herb that energizes the Chi or Life force", "Elixir of Youth", "Herb of spiritual potency", "Mends the heart", "Superior Herb", "Artist's Conk", "God's Herb", "The Elixir of Immortality", "Herb of Deathlessness"., "The sovereign Of Herbs", "Spiritual Herb", …. Ganoderma was so valued that it was used almost exclusively by Emperors and by high ranking courtesans. Ganoderma grows on logs or tree stumps. But this mushroom is very rare the forest. Presently, Ganoderma is being planted artificially in over ten countries. China occupies the largest portion with an annual output of 4,300 tons. Extracts from Ganoderma have been used in traditional Asian medicine for thousands of years, because it contains ingredients that strengthen the immune system in general: the main active ingredients are Ganoderic acid, polysaccharides together with other active compounds such as sterol, fungal lysozyme, alkaloids, proteins, riboflavin, ascorbic acid and lipids. Those active ingredient posses their own medicinal properties that gives value to Ganoderma Lucidum. The polyshaccharide fraction of Ganoderma is largely responsible for its anti-tumor efficacy for example. Ganoderma is used in Japan and China to treat cancer and to stimulate the immune system after radiation or chemotherapy.
This is fact that more and more scientific research deals with the beneficial effects of pure Ganoderma extract, a growing number of doctors, hospitals use ganoderma extract the healing process, often in combination with the Eastern and Western medicine.

Lately it has been accepted as one of the health-maintaining foods in Japan, China, Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia and finally in USA and in Europe … More and more individuals become realized with its effects of strengthening constitution and maintaining health ...

CONTRIBUTOR'S REPLY
Hi Frederick, The mushroom picking in the forest is a very good thing! Even when I was a little kid, we went to the forest with my grandmother a lot. She often said, this is perhaps a good mushroom, others take it, but I do not know, just stay in place! This is a very important rule. If we find a mushroom which is a bit uncertain, we separate it from other fungus, and bring it to an expert to check it. There is no finer than a Christmas cabbage soup with hand-picked mushrooms. :) Zoli
