Recently, artificial Ganoderma leucocontextum were harvested, cultivated by Vegetable Institution of Tibet Academy of Agricultural Sciences. These Ganoderma leucocontextum were transferred to the Tibet Ganoderma Biological Science and Technology Co. , Ltd, research on product development.
It is reported, Ganoderma leucocontextum is a new species covered by GUangdong Institute of Microbiology in 2014. In China, the common Ganoderma includes Ganoderma lingzhi, Ganoderma lucidum and Ganoderma sichuanense. These Ganoderma have similar shapes, easy to confusing. But, they have little difference, the color of common Ganoderma is darker than Ganoderma leucocontextum, spore is smaller than Ganoderma leucocontextum; G. Tsugae and G. Oregonense also have similar shapes with Ganoderma leucocontextum, but, these Ganodermar are bigger than Ganoderma leucocontextum, and they often grow in the trees.
Nowadays, Ganoderma leucocontextum can be artificial cultivated in scale, and successfully harvested spore powder.
