Ganoderma Lucidum Biochemistry
Ganoderma lucidum is the only known source of a group of triterpenes, known as ganoderic acids, which have a molecular structure similar to steroid hormones. It is a source of biologically active polysaccharides with presumed medicinal properties, and it also contains:

ergosterol
coumarin
mannitol
lactones
alkaloids
unsaturated fatty acids
vitamins and minerals.
Unlike many other mushrooms, which have up to 90% water content, fresh ganoderma lucidum only contains about 75% water.

Ganoderma Lucidum Habitat
In nature, ganoderma lucidum grows at the base and stumps of deciduous trees, especially maple. Only two or three out of 10,000 such aged trees will have ganoderma lucidum growth, and therefore its wild form is generally rare. Today, ganoderma lucidum is effectively cultivated both indoors under sterile conditions and outdoors on either logs or woodchip beds.

Ganoderma Lucidum History
Shen Nong's Herbal Classic, a 2000-year old medicinal Chinese book considered today as the oldest book on oriental herbal medicine states "The taste is bitter, its energy neutral, it has no toxicity. It cures the accumulation of pathogenic factors in the chest. It is good for the Qi of the head, including mental activities... Long term consumption will lighten the body; you will never become old. It lengthens years."

Pen T'sao Kang Mu ("Great Pharmacopoeia"), a Chinese medical book published in the 16th century, also shows a possible link between modern research and folk knowledge when describing the ganoderma lucidum mushroom: "It positively affects the Qi of the heart, repairing the chest area and benefiting those with a knotted and tight chest. Taken over a long period of time agility of the body will not cease, and the years are lengthened..."

Depictions of the ganoderma lucidum mushroom as a symbol for health, are shown in many places of the Emperors residences in the Forbidden City as well as the Summer Palace.

The Chinese goddess of healing Kuan Yin is sometimes depicted holding a ganoderma lucidum mushroom.
