Lingzhi (Reishi) contains no chlorophyll, and cannot obtain necessary nutrients from photosynthesis. Instead, it must decompose existing organic matter to obtain the wherewithal for growth. Wild Lingzhi (Reishi) is typically found growing on tree roots, where it decomposes and absorbs nutrition from the tree. To grow Lingzhi (Reishi) in large quantities under artificial conditions, it is first necessary to understand what types of nutrients are needed, and in what quantities. These nutrients must then be blended and mixed with the Lingzhi (Reishi) culture medium.
Growing Lingzhi (Reishi) under Artificial Conditions
Culture medium containing the special nutrients needed for Lingzhi (Reishi) growth is first packed in heat-resistant bags (so-called "sawdust medium packaging bags"). Afterwards, the bags are filled with cotton on the top and sealed -> subjected to high-temperature sterilization -> cooled -> inoculated with spawn -> placed in Lingzhi cultivation cottages. The Lingzhi (Reishi) fruiting bodies may be harvested after they have grown for two to three months (During this time mycelia running and fruiting body growth take place. If the Lingzhi (Reishi) is not harvested in time, its active constituent content will fall and the fruiting body will gradually toughen.). The Lingzhi (Reishi) is cleaned, dried, packed in bags for warehouse storage, and sent to the plant we utilize for the manufacture of Lingzhi products.
