The difference between wild and cultivated Lingzhi

1. Shape Difference

There are many varieties of wild Ganoderma lucidum, with different shapes and sizes. Wild Ganoderma lucidum of the same volume will be heavier than farmed ones.

Artificially cultivated Ganoderma lucidum has a good growth environment, and the grown Ganoderma lucidum is generally larger than its wild counterpart, and their sizes are similar and their shapes are regular.

2. Whether there are insect eyes

Wild Ganoderma lucidum grows in the wild and will be attacked by pests, so there will be some insect holes left on its body.

In order to prevent and control pests, pesticides are usually sprayed when cultivating Ganoderma lucidum, so there are basically no insect holes.

3. Difference in smell

Wild Ganoderma lucidum tastes bitter but has no other smell.

Because cultivated Ganoderma lucidum will be exposed to pesticides and fertilizers, it may have other smells.
