Lingzhi mushroom
The Lingzhi mushroom, also known as Reishi or Ganoderma lucidum, is a medicinal fungus that has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years. It is often recognized for its distinctive reddish-brown color and fan-shaped cap. Lingzhi is believed to support the immune system and promote overall health, making it a popular supplement in various forms, including powders, capsules, and teas.
This mushroom grows on decaying wood and is typically found in humid, tropical regions. Lingzhi contains bioactive compounds, such as triterpenes and polysaccharides, which are thought to contribute to its health benefits. While research is ongoing, many people use Lingzhi for its potential to enhance well-being and longevity.
