“…31 In recent years, there has been an increasing concern about the quality of reishi products. 32 In an analysis of polysaccharide and triterpene profiles, Wu et al found that only 26.3 % of the Ganoderma lucidum supplements were in accordance with their labels. 18 This study also found significant variations in the β-glucan content among reishi supplements.…”

Due to the presence of numerous bioactive compounds, including polysaccharides and polyphenols, mushroom-based food supplements are claimed to have many beneficial health effects. Despite their popularity, concerns have been raised in recent years over the quality of mushroom products, particularly regarding their non-standardized chemical composition. In this study, the β-glucan and total phenolic contents, as well as the antioxidant potential of mushroom-derived supplements available on the Serbian market were analyzed. The obtained results, revealing considerable differences in β-glucan and total polyphenol contents among these products, reflect variations in mushroom species, forms and recommended dosing regimens. A correlation between the total phenolic content and antioxidant activity was observed. The presence of other active ingredients, such as vitamin C, has contributed to antioxidant variability among the analyzed products. The obtained results indicate the need for the standardization of mushroom-derived food supplements to ensure their claiming effects.

“…Current methods used in commercial production of Ganoderma, include wood log, tree stump, sawdust bag, short blocks of basswood (from the tree genus Tilia, known as Lime or Linden in Europe) and bottle procedures (Hapuarachchi et al, 2018). Mycelial growth, fruiting and development of fruit bodies require specific nutritional factors and environmental conditions (Zhou et al, 2017).…”

We review the most recent developments in understanding the nature of development and morphogenesis in fungi and suggest how it might be applied to biotechnological manipulation of some cultivated mushrooms. We believe that it is essential to match the deductions of the molecular observations of the genomics generation with the inductive reasoning of the in vivo experiments and observations of the pregenomics generations to take full advantage of the synergism between the approaches to illuminate better the living biology of the system. As specific examples we show how model mushroom fungi (Coprinopsis and Volvariella) make hymenia and gills (not forgetting how the polypore Phellinus makes tubes), developmental commitment and pattern formation. The Coprinopsis sporophore also provides examples for the construction of mushroom stems and the coordination of cell behaviour throughout the maturing sporophore and the timing process that achieves that. This leads us to consider the mechanics of the mushroom and its dependence on the biochemistry and regulation of metabolism in relation to morphogenesis, and how it varies between species. We finish with our summary of the basic principles of fungal developmental biology. Having demonstrated how classic approaches allowed progress to be made in the study of fungal development we show how this has been accelerated by genomics and other aspects of global analysis of macromolecules. We also include work on some cultivated mushrooms to illustrate how the generalisations from research on model organisms might be applied in mushroom farming.

“…Modern studies have shown that G. lucidum polysaccharides (GLPs) and Ganoderma triterpenoids (GTs) which improve immunity and exert antiaging effects are the main contributors to the traditional pharmacological activities of G. lucidum. G. lucidum has been included in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia and in the American Herbal Pharmacopoeia and Therapeutic Compendium (Hapuarachchi et al 2018).…”

Background: Ganoderma lucidum, a double-walled basidiospore produced by porous basidiomycete fungi, has been used as a traditional medicine for thousands of years. It is considered a valuable Chinese medicine for strengthening body resistance, invigorating the spleen, and replenishing Qi. G. lucidum contains a variety of active ingredients, such as polysaccharides, triterpenoids, nucleosides, sterols, alkaloids, polypeptides, fatty acids, steroids, and inorganic elements, and has anticancer, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotection, hypoglycemic, anti-melanogenesis, anti-aging, and skin barrier-repairing activity. Conclusions: The review summarizes the traditional usages, distribution, active constituents, structure, and biological effects of G. lucidum, with an aim to offer directions for further research and better usage of G. lucidum as a medicinal raw material.
