Ganoderma lucidum, also known as reishi mushroom, is a type of mushroom that is different from edible mushrooms in several complex ways. According to legends, it was sought after by emperors for its perceived medicinal properties. Of various medicinal mushrooms, Ganoderma lucidum is particularly notable for its high medicinal value in helping prevent diseases like high blood pressure, diabetes, and cancer. The Sun Gertain Ganoderma Farm in Taiwan produces a variety of Ganoderma lucidum products like capsules, toothpaste, and dried mushrooms, and offers bed and breakfast lodging alongside tours of its facilities and farmland.
