Images of this amazing mushroom were carved into the walls as a symbol of immortality and energy. It has also been associated with Taoist Priests who used it in their magic. In the oldest books on medicine in China, written about 200 AD, Ganoderma lucidum is rated as a more powerful herb than Ginseng. Li Shiszhen of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) one of the greatest physicians of the time, talked about the health benefits in his Bencao Gangmu or compendium of Materia Medica . This book is regarded as the most comprehensive book on Chinese Herbal Medicine in history.
