Abstract
The popular edible mushroom Ganoderma lucidum was considered the most valuable medicine in ancient Asia and was belived to bring longevity, due to its mysterious power of healing the body and calming the mind. Today, Ganoderma lucidum is still widely revered as a valuable health supplement and herbal medicine worldwide, as studies (mostly conducted in China, Korea, Japan, America) into the medicinal and nutritional values of Ganoderma lucidum revealed that it does indeed contain certain bioactive ingredient (such as polysaccharide, triterpene) that might be benefical for the prevention and treatment of a variety of ailments, including diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, hepatitis, cancer, AIDS.
