Is Lingzhi poisonous?

Ganoderma lucidum is a very precious medicinal material. It is generally used to nourish the body. It contains very high nutrients. For some friends with weak bodies, it is very good to eat some Ganoderma lucidum appropriately in life. However, we can see wild Ganoderma lucidum in some places, but people are afraid that these Ganoderma lucidum are poisonous, so they dare not pick them. This is correct, some Ganoderma lucidum are indeed poisonous.

Although the nutritional value of Ganoderma lucidum is very high, it will be difficult to make use of it if we do not make good use of its nutritional value. Some of the Ganoderma lucidum that we commonly use are non-toxic, but some wild Ganoderma lucidum that we have never eaten may contain toxins.

Most wild Ganoderma lucidum are poisonous. Zhu Binggen said that wild-collected Ganoderma should not be taken casually, because some Ganoderma have medicinal value, while others do not, and it is difficult for citizens to distinguish them. "For example, among the more than ten kinds of Ganoderma found on Zijin Mountain, the medicinal value of Ganoderma lucidum with stalks, Ganoderma lucidum with brown holes, Ganoderma lucidum with curved stalks, and Ganoderma lucidum with scleroderma has not been medically proven, and only a few species such as Ganoderma lucidum with red spruce, Ganoderma lucidum with purple spruce, Ganoderma lucidum with yellow holes, and Ganoderma lucidum with cascading holes have anti-cancer effects."

He reminded that even wild Ganoderma lucidum, which has medicinal value, needs to undergo a series of processing techniques before it can be eaten. Otherwise, the toxic substances contained in the Ganoderma lucidum itself can easily cause chemical reactions, leading to poisoning in the consumer, which can even be fatal in severe cases. Professor Zhu suggested that if citizens really want to eat Ganoderma lucidum, they can take it under the guidance of an expert, or directly purchase processed Ganoderma lucidum.

Ganoderma lucidum can enhance human immunity and has a good effect on many diseases, but it is by no means a miracle drug. Like wild ginseng and cordyceps sinensis, it only has a significant effect if taken for a long time. It is difficult for ordinary working families to afford the high cost. Although cultivated Ganoderma lucidum is cheap, even the slightest problem in the cultivation process may accumulate during the patient's long-term use, making the patient lose more than the gain.

If you pick wild Ganoderma lucidum in your daily life, we hope that you can have some understanding of its edible value and nutritional value. For the Ganoderma lucidum that you are not familiar with, we should understand it well before eating it to avoid accidents. I hope you can study more information about Ganoderma lucidum.
