The difference between real and fake Lingzhi

Wild Ganoderma lucidum is a very precious Chinese herbal medicine. It has many different types, a total of 108 species. There are many types of wild Ganoderma lucidum on the market today, and the quality is difficult to distinguish. In addition, some stores even use fake wild Ganoderma lucidum to impersonate wild Ganoderma lucidum to deceive our customers. So. As customers, we

1 Color

Wild Ganoderma lucidum has been exposed to the sun and rain, absorbed natural dew and nutrients, has a natural luster, and is dark brown in color. Most of the fake wild Ganoderma lucidum sold on the market are artificially grown or counterfeited with other things similar to wild Ganoderma lucidum. In most cases, in order to make the fake wild Ganoderma lucidum beautiful in color, the suppliers usually steam the wild Ganoderma lucidum in a pot. The so-called wild Ganoderma lucidum after steaming has a bright surface and bright color, but it is not natural and the surface is dark brown. It should be understood that the efficacy of such Ganoderma lucidum will be greatly reduced.

2. Appearance Texture

Authentic wild Ganoderma lucidum is generally semi-circular in shape and varies in size. The patterns of natural wild Ganoderma lucidum are irregular, and each one is unique and cannot be copied. However, due to human control of its growth or artificial processing, imitation goods are generally of uniform size and appearance, and most of the patterns are relatively standard without any unusual changes.

3 Mud Feet

Because the authentic wild Ganoderma lucidum is natural, it usually contains mud. When choosing, we should pay attention to observe the roots of the wild Ganoderma lucidum. There is soil at the roots of real wild Ganoderma lucidum. This is because it grows on the top of a mountain and is immediately pulled out by the roots when picked, so there is always some fine sand. However, fake wild Ganoderma lucidum usually has no traces of soil at its roots because it lives in an artificially produced environment or is processed by humans.

4. Insect bites

Because the real wild Ganoderma lucidum grows naturally, it is inevitable that it will be damaged by wild insects, so there are also occasional insect bites on the bottom. However, this kind of insect infestation does not affect the efficacy of Ganoderma lucidum. Counterfeit wild Ganoderma lucidum generally does not have this kind of insects, because it has undergone acquired treatment and is basically not easily bitten by small insects.

5. Flavor and taste

It is true that wild Ganoderma has no smell. When we buy wild Ganoderma in the pharmacy, we feel that there is a strange smell. This is caused by the off-flavor after being mixed with Chinese medicinal materials. Wild Ganoderma lucidum tastes bitter, very bitter. Some fake wild Ganoderma lucidum nowadays taste a bit astringent, not bitter. They smell like a fragrance or additives. These are all wild Ganoderma lucidum mixed with other substances. We must be careful when purchasing them.

6 Is there any weeds?

Because real wild Ganoderma grows naturally, there are no weeds or branches on the surface. The imitation products do not have such markings, and most of them are processed very cleanly, and no traces of natural products can be seen.
