Lingzhi, Ganoderma sichuanense, also known as reishi or Ganoderma lingzhi[1] is a polypore fungus ("bracket fungus") native to East Asia belonging to the genus Ganoderma.

Its reddish brown varnished kidney-shaped cap with bands and peripherally inserted stem gives it a distinct fan-like appearance. When fresh, the lingzhi is soft, cork-like, and flat. It lacks gills on its underside, and instead releases its spores via fine pores (80–120 μm) in yellow colors.[2]

The lingzhi mushroom is used in traditional Chinese medicine.[2][3] There is insufficient evidence to indicate that consuming lingzhi mushrooms or their extracts has any effect on human health or diseases.[4][5][6]

In nature, it grows at the base and stumps of deciduous trees, especially that of the maple. Only two or three out of 10,000 such aged trees will have lingzhi growth, and therefore its wild form is rare.[citation needed] Lingzhi may be cultivated on hardwood logs, sawdust, or woodchips.

Taxonomy and ecology[edit]

Lingzhi, also known as reishi from its Japanese pronunciation, is the ancient "mushroom of immortality", revered for over 2,000 years (with some evidence suggesting use in Neolithic China 6,800 years ago).[7] However, as of 2023 there is an ongoing debate on which one of the described Ganoderma species is the lingzhi mushroom. It is also likely that a few different common species were considered interchangeable.

Under the scientific literature, the lingzhi mushroom is ambiguously referred to as:

  • Ganoderma sichuanense — the current name, described by Zhao and Zhang (1983).[8]
  • Ganoderma lingzhi — described by Cao et al. (2012)[2] as a novel species that is also the best fit for the traditional definitions of the lingzhi mushroom. However, Du et al. (2023)[1] showed that it is the same species as G. sichuanense. It is now treated as a later synonym.
  • Ganoderma lucidum — a type species of Genoderma described by Karst (1881) based on the European population. Early records of chinese Genoderma populations identified them as G. lucidum, but it was later established that Asian populations are distinct from European both morphologically and phylogenetically.[9][1] As the lingzhi fungus is strongly rooted into culture, the old name persists, even though it is well established that G. sichuanense and G. lucidum are distinct species. This leads to a lot of confusion in culture, as well as in the scientific community, when trying to codify and describe its medicinal uses.

One of the sources employed to solved the task of identifying the traditional lingzhi mushroom is the 16th century Chinese herbal compendium, the Template:Transliteration (1578). There, a number of different lingzhi-like mushrooms were used for different purposes and defined by color. No exact current species can be attached to these ancient lingzhi for certain, but according to Dai et al. (2017),[10] as well as other researchers, and based on molecular work, red lingzhi is most likely to be Ganoderma sichuanense.[11][2]

Ganoderma sichuanense is the most widely found species in Chinese herb shops today,[citation needed] and the fruiting bodies are widely cultivated in China and shipped to many other countries. About 7–10 other Ganoderma species are also sold in some shops, but have different Chinese and Latin names, and are considered different in their activity and functions. The differences are based on concentrations of triterpenes such as ganoderic acid and its derivatives, which vary widely among species. Research on the genus is ongoing, but a number of recent phylogenetic analyses have been published in the last number of years.[12]

Nomenclature[edit]

Petter Adolf Karsten named the genus Ganoderma in 1881.[13] English botanist William Curtis gave the fungus its first binomial name, Boletus lucidus, in 1781.[14] The lingzhi's botanical names have Greek and Latin roots. Ganoderma derives from the Greek Template:Transliteration (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Lang/ISO 639 synonyms' not found.; Template:Gloss), and Template:Transliteration (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Lang/ISO 639 synonyms' not found.; Template:Gloss).[15] The specific epithet, sichuanense, comes from the Sichuan Chinese province. The synonym's specific name, lingzhi, comes from Chinese, meaning Template:Gloss.

Varieties[edit]

It was once thought that Ganoderma lingzhi generally occurred in two growth forms: a large, sessile, specimen with a small or nonexistent stalk, found in North America, and a smaller specimen with a long, narrow stalk, found mainly in the tropics. However, recent molecular evidence has identified the former, stalkless, form as a distinct species called G. sessile, a name given to North American specimens by William Alfonso Murrill in 1902.[12][16]

Environmental conditions play a substantial role in the lingzhi's manifest morphological characteristics. For example, elevated carbon dioxide levels result in stem elongation in lingzhi. Other formations include antlers without a cap, which may also be related to carbon dioxide levels. The three main factors that influence fruit body development morphology are light, temperature, and humidity. While water and air quality play a role in fruit body development morphology, they do so to a lesser degree.[17]

Habitat[edit]

Ganoderma lingzhi is found in East Asia growing as a parasite or saprotroph on a variety of trees.[18] Ganoderma curtisii and Ganoderma ravenelii are the closest relatives of the lingzhi mushroom in North America.[19]

In the wild, lingzhi grows at the base and stumps of deciduous trees, especially that of the maple.[20] Only two or three out of 10,000 such aged trees will have lingzhi growth, and therefore it is extremely rare in its natural form.[citation needed] Today, lingzhi is effectively cultivated on hardwood logs or sawdust/woodchips.[21]

Tao Yuanming holding Lingzhi by Chen Hongshou[22]

In the chronicles of Template:Transliteration (1st century CE from Sima Qian), the initial use of nearby separately related words with Chinese: 芝 and Chinese: 靈 are attested to in the poems of Emperor Wu of Han. Later, in the 1st century CE through the poetry of Ban Gu, occurred the first combination of the characters Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Lang/ISO 639 synonyms' not found. together into a single word, in an ode dedicated to Lingzhi.[23][24]

Since ancient times, Taoist temples were called "the abode of mushrooms" and according to their mystical teachings, the use of woody mushrooms Template:Transliteration (Ganoderma) or Template:Transliteration "spirits mushroom", in particular making from it a concentrated decoction of hallucinogenic action,[23] gave followers the opportunity to see spirits or become spirits themselves by receiving the magical energy of the immortals Template:Transliteration, located on the "fields of grace" in the heavenly "mushroom fields" (Template:Transliteration.[25]

In the philosophical work Template:Transliteration, it is said that the lingzhi mushroom is personification of nobility; from which shamans brewed a psychedelic drink.[26][27]

The Template:Transliteration (Divine Farmer's Classic of Pharmaceutics) of c. 200–250 CE classifies Template:Transliteration into six color categories, each of which is believed to benefit the Template:Transliteration, or "life force", in a different part of the body: Template:Transliteration (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Lang/ISO 639 synonyms' not found.; Template:Gloss) for the liver, Template:Transliteration (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Lang/ISO 639 synonyms' not found.; Template:Gloss) for the heart, Template:Transliteration (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Lang/ISO 639 synonyms' not found.; Template:Gloss) for the spleen, Template:Transliteration (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Lang/ISO 639 synonyms' not found.; Template:Gloss) for the lungs, Template:Transliteration (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Lang/ISO 639 synonyms' not found.; Template:Gloss) for the kidneys, and Template:Transliteration (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Lang/ISO 639 synonyms' not found.; Template:Gloss) for the Essence.[clarification needed] Commentators identify the red Template:Transliteration, or Template:Transliteration (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Lang/ISO 639 synonyms' not found.; Template:Gloss), as the lingzhi.[28][29]

Chi Zhi (Ganoderma rubra) is bitter and balanced. It mainly treats binding in the chest, boosts the heart qi, supplements the center, sharpens the wits, and [causes people] not to forget [i.e., improves the memory]. Protracted taking may make the body light, prevent senility, and prolong life so as to make one an immortal. Its other name is Dan Zhi (Cinnabar Ganoderma). It grows in mountains and valleys.[30]

In the Taoist treatise of Template:Transliteration from Ge Hong, the lingzhi is used for immortality.[31][28][29]

The (1596) Template:Transliteration (Compendium of Materia Medica) has a Template:Transliteration (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Lang/ISO 639 synonyms' not found.) category that includes six types of Template:Transliteration (calling the green, red, yellow, white, black, and purple mushrooms of the Template:Transliteration the liuzhi (六芝; "six mushrooms") and sixteen other fungi, mushrooms, and lichens, including mu'er (木耳; "wood ear"; "cloud ear fungus", Auricularia auricula-judae). The author Li Shizhen classified these six differently colored zhi as xiancao (仙草; "immortality herbs"), and described the effects of chizhi ("red mushroom"):

It positively affects the life-energy, or Qi of the heart, repairing the chest area and benefiting those with a knotted and tight chest. Taken over a long period of time, the agility of the body will not cease, and the years are lengthened to those of the Immortal Fairies.[32][33]

Stuart and Smith's classic study of Chinese herbology describes the zhi.

芝 (Chih) is defined in the classics as the plant of immortality, and it is therefore always considered to be a felicitous one. It is said to absorb the earthy vapors and to leave a heavenly atmosphere. For this reason, it is called 靈芝 (Ling-chih.) It is large and of a branched form, and probably represents Clavaria or Sparassis. Its form is likened to that of coral.[34]

The Bencao Gangmu does not list lingzhi as a variety of zhi, but as an alternate name for the shi'er (石耳; "stone ear", Umbilicaria esculenta) lichen. According to Stuart and Smith,

[The 石耳 Shih-erh is] edible, and has all of the good qualities of the 芝 (Chih), it is also being used in the treatment of gravel, and said to benefit virility. It is specially used in hemorrhage from the bowels and prolapse of the rectum. While the name of this would indicate that it was one of the Auriculariales, the fact that the name 靈芝 (Ling-chih) is also given to it might place it among the Clavariaceae.[34]

In Chinese art, the lingzhi symbolizes great health and longevity, as depicted in the imperial Forbidden City and Summer Palace.[35] It was a talisman for luck in the traditional culture of China, and the goddess of healing Guanyin is sometimes depicted holding a lingzhi mushroom.[33]

Chinese[edit]

The Old Chinese name for lingzhi Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Lang/ISO 639 synonyms' not found. was first recorded during the Han dynasty (206 BC – 9 AD). In the Chinese language, Template:Transliteration (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Lang/ISO 639 synonyms' not found.) is a compound. It comprises Template:Transliteration (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Lang/ISO 639 synonyms' not found.); "spirit, spiritual; soul; miraculous; sacred; divine; mysterious; efficacious; effective)" as, for example, in the name of the Lingyan Temple in Jinan, and Template:Transliteration (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Lang/ISO 639 synonyms' not found.); "(traditional) plant of longevity; fungus; seed; branch; mushroom; excrescence"). Fabrizio Pregadio notes, "The term zhi, which has no equivalent in Western languages, refers to a variety of supermundane substances often described as plants, fungi, or 'excrescences'."[36] Zhi occurs in other Chinese plant names, such as Template:Transliteration (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Lang/ISO 639 synonyms' not found.; "sesame" or "seed"), and was anciently used a phonetic loan character for Template:Transliteration (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Lang/ISO 639 synonyms' not found.; "Angelica iris"). Chinese differentiates Ganoderma species into Template:Transliteration (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Lang/ISO 639 synonyms' not found.; "red mushroom") G. lingzhi, and Template:Transliteration (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Lang/ISO 639 synonyms' not found.; "purple mushroom") Ganoderma sinense.

Lingzhi has several synonyms. Of these, Template:Transliteration (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Lang/ISO 639 synonyms' not found.; "auspicious plant") (Template:Transliteration Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Lang/ISO 639 synonyms' not found.; "auspicious; felicitous omen" with the suffix Template:Transliteration Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Lang/ISO 639 synonyms' not found.; "plant; herb") is the oldest; the Erya dictionary (c. 3rd century BCE) defines Template:Transliteration Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Lang/ISO 639 synonyms' not found., interpreted as a miscopy of Template:Transliteration (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Lang/ISO 639 synonyms' not found.; "mushroom") as Template:Transliteration (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Lang/ISO 639 synonyms' not found.; "mushroom"), and the commentary of Guo Pu (276–324) says, "The [zhi] flowers three times in one year. It is a [ruicao] felicitous plant."[37] Other Chinese names for Ganoderma include Template:Transliteration (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Lang/ISO 639 synonyms' not found.; "auspicious mushroom"), Template:Transliteration (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Lang/ISO 639 synonyms' not found.; "divine mushroom", with shen; "spirit; god' supernatural; divine"), Template:Transliteration (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Lang/ISO 639 synonyms' not found.) (with "tree; wood"), Template:Transliteration (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Lang/ISO 639 synonyms' not found.; "immortality plant", with xian; "(Daoism) transcendent; immortal; wizard"), and Template:Transliteration (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Lang/ISO 639 synonyms' not found.) or Template:Transliteration (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Lang/ISO 639 synonyms' not found.; "mushroom plant").

Since both Chinese ling and zhi have multiple meanings, lingzhi has diverse English translations. Renditions include "[zhi] possessed of soul power",[38] "Herb of Spiritual Potency" or "Mushroom of Immortality",[39] "Numinous Mushroom",[36] "divine mushroom",[40] "divine fungus",[41] "Magic Fungus",[42] and "Marvelous Fungus".[43]

English[edit]

In English, lingzhi or ling chih (sometimes spelled "ling chi", using the French EFEO Chinese transcription) is a Chinese loanword. It is also commonly referred to as "reishi", which is loaned from Japanese.[44]

The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) gives the definition, "The fungus Ganoderma lucidum (actually Ganoderma lingzhi (see Ganoderma lucidum for details), believed in China to confer longevity and used as a symbol of this on Chinese ceramic ware.",[45] and identifies the etymology of the word as Chinese: líng, "divine" + zhī, "fungus". According to the OED, the earliest recorded usage of the Wade–Giles romanization ling chih is 1904,[46] and of the Pinyin lingzhi is 1980.

In addition to the transliterated loanwords, English names include "glossy ganoderma" and "shiny polyporus".[47]

Japanese[edit]

The Japanese word Template:Transliteration (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Lang/ISO 639 synonyms' not found.) is a Sino-Japanese loanword deriving from the Chinese Template:Transliteration (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Lang/ISO 639 synonyms' not found.; Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Lang/ISO 639 synonyms' not found.). Its modern Japanese kanji, Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Lang/ISO 639 synonyms' not found., is the shinjitai ("new character form") of the kyūjitai ("old character form"), Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Lang/ISO 639 synonyms' not found.. Synonyms for reishi are divided between Sino-Japanese borrowings and native Japanese coinages. Sinitic loanwords include literary terms such as Template:Transliteration (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Lang/ISO 639 synonyms' not found., from Template:Transliteration; "auspicious plant") and Template:Transliteration (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Lang/ISO 639 synonyms' not found., from Template:Transliteration; "immortality plant"). The Japanese writing system uses Template:Transliteration or Template:Transliteration (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Lang/ISO 639 synonyms' not found.) for "grass; lawn; turf", and take or Template:Transliteration (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Lang/ISO 639 synonyms' not found.) for "mushroom" (e.g., shiitake). A common native Japanese name is Template:Transliteration (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Lang/ISO 639 synonyms' not found.; "10,000-year mushroom"). Other Japanese terms for reishi include Template:Transliteration (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Lang/ISO 639 synonyms' not found.; "departure mushroom"), Template:Transliteration (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Lang/ISO 639 synonyms' not found.; "sage mushroom"), and Template:Transliteration (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Lang/ISO 639 synonyms' not found.; "grandchild ladle").

Korean[edit]

South Korea produces over 25,000 tons of mushrooms every year.

Thai[edit]

The Thai word Template:Transliteration (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Lang/ISO 639 synonyms' not found.) is a compound of the native word Template:Transliteration (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Lang/ISO 639 synonyms' not found.) meaning "mushroom" and the loanword Template:Transliteration (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Lang/ISO 639 synonyms' not found.) from the Chinese Template:Transliteration (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Lang/ISO 639 synonyms' not found.; Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Lang/ISO 639 synonyms' not found.).

Vietnamese[edit]

Uses[edit]

Clinical research and phytochemistry[edit]

File:Ganoderic acid.png
Ganoderic acid A, a compound isolated from lingzhi

Ganoderma lucidum contains diverse phytochemicals, including triterpenes (ganoderic acids), which have a molecular structure similar to that of steroid hormones.[48] It also contains phytochemicals found in fungal materials, including polysaccharides (such as beta-glucan), coumarin,[49] mannitol, and alkaloids.[48] Sterols isolated from the mushroom include ganoderol, ganoderenic acid, ganoderiol, ganodermanontriol, lucidadiol, and ganodermadiol.[48]

A 2015 Cochrane database review found insufficient evidence to justify the use of G. lucidum as a first-line cancer treatment.[4][5] It stated that G. lucidum may have "benefit as an alternative adjunct to conventional treatment in consideration of its potential of enhancing tumour response and stimulating host immunity."[5] Existing studies do not support the use of G. lucidum for treatment of risk factors of cardiovascular disease in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus.[6]

Folk medicine[edit]

Because of its bitter taste,[50] lingzhi is traditionally prepared as a hot water extract product for use in folk medicine.[35] Thinly sliced or pulverized lingzhi (either fresh or dried) is added to boiling water which is then reduced to a simmer, covered, and left for 2 hours.[51] The resulting liquid is dark and fairly bitter in taste. The red lingzhi is often more bitter than the black. The process is sometimes repeated to increase the concentration. Alternatively, it can be used as an ingredient in a formula decoction, or used to make an extract (in liquid, capsule, or powder form).[52]

Other uses[edit]

Lingzhi is commercially manufactured and sold. Since the early 1970s, most lingzhi is cultivated. Lingzhi can grow on substrates such as sawdust, grain, and wood logs. After formation of the fruiting body, lingzhi is most commonly harvested, dried, ground, and processed into tablets or capsules to be directly ingested or made into tea or soup. Other lingzhi products include processed fungal mycelia or spores.[51] Lingzhi is also used to create mycelium bricks.[53]
