On June 5, 2024, the Lingzhi mushroom base in Yunle Township, Jingde County, Xuancheng City of east China's Anhui Province, was shrouded in mist and light rain. The base appeared and disappeared in the clouds and fog, resembling a fairyland. 🌫️✨
Jingde County is surrounded by mountains, featuring clear waters and lush greenery. The mist lingers year-round, and a continuous supply of mountain spring water creates a superior natural environment. These unique conditions provide the perfect setting for the growth of Lingzhi mushrooms, known for their distinctive quality and health benefits.
The Lingzhi mushroom, belonging to the genus Ganoderma, is a fungus species native to the dim and humid forests in China. It thrives at the base and stumps of deciduous trees, extracting nutrition to survive. Wild Lingzhi is extremely rare, requiring a delicate balance of light, moisture, and temperature. Typically, only a few out of 10,000 trees will host Lingzhi mushrooms. 🍄🌳
Highly regarded in traditional Chinese medicine, Lingzhi mushrooms are used to lower the risk of cancer and heart disease while boosting the immune system. Their remarkable health benefits make them a prized natural remedy around the world.
