Nepalese Lingzhi Fungus Mask, probably 19th century

This extraordinary mask has been formed from a large, single Lingzhi fungus (Ganoderma Lucidum). The natural structure of the fungus has been coaxed into forming a nose, ears, a mouth and eyes. Two holes on either side allow for a natural twine to have been threaded through so that the mask can be either worn or hung for (perhaps) ritual display. The surface is hard, glossy and dramatically wrinkled. It is believed that such masks were worn ritually to frighten off malevolent spirits. Most extant fungus masks are of black (or blackened) Lingzhi fungus. Pannier (2009, p. 68) illustrates a mask translated as a ‘mushroom’ mask which appears to be made from a single fungus – possibly a Lingzhi – but coloured with red pigment. Nepalese fungus masks are rare. Dating them is difficult. There are few in private or museum collections. The surface is glossy and encrusted with a varying patina suggesting some significant age. Possibly it was darkened with soot although there is no residual smokiness present. The example here is in an excellent, stable condition with just the odd small loss to the extremities as might be expected. The texture is hard and robust rather than crumbly and friable. It has a wood-like consistency.

Lingzhi

Lingzhi, also known as Ganoderma lingzhi, is a polypore mushroom native to East Asia. It has a reddish-brown color and has a kidney-shaped cap with bands and peripherally inserted stem. It lacks gills on its underside. Instead releases its spores via fine pores in yellow colors. It grows at the stumps and base of deciduous trees. Only two or three out of 10,000 aged trees will have Lingzhi, so therefore finding it out in the wild is rare.

William Curtis, an English Botantist, gave the Lingzhi its first binomial name, Boletus lucidus, in 1781. In 1881, Petter Adolf named the genus Ganoderma.

This mushroom has been used countless of times for tradition Chinese medicine. It's supposed to help your immune system, although there have been times that it causes digestive issues in some people. However, these people usually have low blood pressure, have immune system medications or disorders, are taking diabetes medications, or are taking therapy to raise your blood pressure. Lingzhi has a bitter taste, so in order to combat this, it is usually prepared as a hot water extract product for use in medicine.

This was pretty short, i'll add more later probably...most likely

Low-Cost Cultivation Protocol for Ganoderma lucidum

Abstract

Ganoderma lucidum commonly known as lingzhi mushroom, or reishi mushroom in some countries, is an edible mushroom known for its medicinal value. This study evaluated the optimum culture media, grain spawn and substrate formulation for the cultivation of G. lucidum. The use of different low-cost culture media, grains and substrate formulations in the preparation of pure cultures, grain spawn bags and fruiting bags of G. lucidum were tested. The largest mycelial diameter was observed in Potato Sucrose Agar (93.45mm) which was significantly higher among all the treatments used. It has very thick mycelial density. Cracked corn as spawning material had the shortest incubation period of 14 days, which showed significant difference compared to sorghum seeds and barley grains. The use of cracked corn also incurred the lowest cost and highest return of investment in grain spawn bag production. For fruiting bag production, substrate combination of 50% sawdust and 30% rice straw supplemented with 20% rice bran was the best formulation for fruiting bag production of G. lucidum which had the highest yield with a mean value of 91.30g and biological efficiency of 20.29%.

Introduction

Mushrooms are considered ultimate healthy food and dietary supplements. They contain proteins, carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins, saturated fatty acids, phenolic compounds, tocopherols, ascorbic acid and carotenoids (Ho et al., 2020). Thus, mushrooms can be used directly in the diet and promote health, taking advantage of both the additive and synergistic effects of all bioactive compounds present in it (Reis et al., 2011).

The cultivation of edible mushrooms could become a way to augment farm income while making use of crop-based residues. The growth of a variety of mushrooms requires different type of substrates and availability of different type of materials. Substrates such as logs, wood sawdust, rice straw and hull, banana leaves, maize stalk, and various grasses can all support mushroom growth (Philippoussis, 2009). In some parts of the Philippines, these substrates may not be available or are available at relatively high prices. Thus, mushroom growers are continuously searching for alternative substrates that may be more readily available or cost effective, or that may provide higher yield and better mushroom quality (Royse D et al., 2004).

Ganoderma lucidum (Curtis) P. Karst is a tropical, edible mushroom that is commonly known as “Reishi” in Japanese and “Lingzhi” in Chinese (Yang and Liau, 1998; Wagner et al., 2003). World-wide, Lingzhi occupies a major source of medicine that has been used for more than 2000 years (Azizi et al., 2012). Commercial G. lucidum products are available in various forms, such as powders, dietary supplements, and tea which are obtained from different parts of the mushroom, including mycelia, spores, and fruiting body (Wachtel-Galor et al., 2011). To meet the gradually increasing demand for G. lucidum as a natural medicine, commercial cultivation of this mushroom has been initiated worldwide, especially in the tropical Asian countries (Chang and Buswell, 2008). As different members of the Ganoderma genus seek different conditions for growth and cultivation, and the traditional cultivation technique takes several months for fruiting body development, artificial cultivation of G. lucidum has been implemented using the available substrates such as grain, sawdust, wood logs and cork residues (Boh et al., 2007). Several substrates have been investigated worldwide for the cultivation of G. lucidum (Tiwari et al., 2004).

With the need to cultivate G. lucidum using lowcost inputs and locally available materials, this project envisioned to determine the best culture media, grain and substrate in terms of biological and cost efficiency. Discovering the best culture media, grain and substrate for G. lucidum may lead to the development of mushroom production technologies that may increase yield, and in effect further increase farmers’ income.
