Ganoderma Lucidum (Lingzhi mushroom)

[copacetic]

The lingzhi mushroom or reishi mushroom (traditional Chinese: 靈芝; pinyin: língzhī; Japanese: reishi; Vietnamese: linh chi; literally: "supernatural mushroom") encompasses several fungal species of the genus Ganoderma, and most commonly refers to the closely related species, Ganoderma lucidum and Ganoderma tsugae. G. lucidum enjoys special veneration in East Asia, where it has been used as a medicinal mushroom in traditional Chinese medicine for more than 2,000 years,[1] making it one of the oldest mushrooms known to have been used medicinally. Because of lingzhi's presumed health benefits and apparent absence of side-effects, it has attained a reputation in the East as the ultimate herbal substance. Lingzhi is listed in the American Herbal Pharmacopoeia and Therapeutic Compendium.

Anyone ever used this stuff?

If so, in what form, where did you get it, and did you notice any positive results?

Thanks.

That link doesn't give any specifixs about the supposed "medicinal effects".

I call bulldung.

Is it another natural wonderdrug that heals everything and everyone of whatever ails them?

I suppose you missed the bit titled 'Research and therapeutic usage'?

It's all referenced.

Whether any of it is true, is what I am trying to ascertain.

No it's not healing everything and everyone, but it can be good addition and cleaner for body. Nothing more.
