Ganoderma lucidum (Fr.) Karst. (Polyporaceae) is a medicinal mushroom known to the Chinese as ‘Lingzhi’. Its fruiting bodies have been used for medicinal properties in traditional Chinese medicine for over 2000 years. This mushroom is described in detail in the Chinese Materia Medica classics, Shen Nung Ben Cao Jin (dated 206 BC–8 AD), and the Compendium of Materia Medica. G. lucidum has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for promotion of vitality and longevity, and more recently used in the treatment of debility and weakness, insomnia, hepatitis, bronchitis and asthma, diabetes, altitude sickness, cardiovascular disease, AIDS, and cancer . In addition to the fruiting bodies, the spores and cultivated mycelia of Ganoderma have been recently
consumed as health food and herbal medicines.
Chemical investigations on the fruiting bodies, spores, and mycelia of G. lucidum reveal that they contain various bioactive substances. Active constituents of G. lucidum include polysaccharides, proteins, nucleosides, fatty acids, terpenoids, sterols, and cerebrosides. Water or alcohol extracts of G. lucidum have been used to investigate biological activities, as these extracts contain compounds mainly responsible for the immunological and anti-inflammatory properties. Alcohol extracts contain biological compounds that lower blood cholesterol and glucose levels, blood
pressure, and inhibit histamine release, while the liver-protective, antiviral and anti-tumor effects
can be attributed to both the water-soluble polysaccharides and alcohol-soluble triterpenes. Ofparticular interest among the reported biological/pharmacological properties of G. lucidum are theiranti-tumor activities, including the effects on cell cycle arrest, apoptosis induction, motility inhibition, antiangiogenic, and antimutagenic activities.
