Ganoderma lucidum
Ganoderma lucidum (Reishi mushroom) is a group of mushrooms extensively used in
traditional Chinese medicines. Its Chinese name, Ling Zhi, means spiritual/wonderful plant. Reishi
mushrooms contain many
bioactive compounds, such as triterpenoids and polysaccharides. They are being studied for many different
therapeutic purposes including immunomodulation, antioxidant, and anticancer effects. Some
studies showed that ganoderma lucidum suppressed cell adhesion and cell
migration of breast and prostate cancer cells and may have potential anticancer
effect. © Jiajiu Shaw, 2016
