About the identification of wild Ganoderma lucidum:
1. Color and luster Wild Ganoderma lucidum has been exposed to the sun and rain, and its color is darker. Since the spore powder of wild Ganoderma lucidum matures and is scattered with the wind and sun, the surface has no spore powder and is relatively smooth. There is a little spore powder left on the surface of artificially cultivated Ganoderma lucidum, and the color is relatively light.
2. Taste and smell Wild Ganoderma lucidum loses its unique fragrance due to long-term exposure to wind and sun, so the fragrance is relatively light or even tasteless, while artificially cultivated Ganoderma lucidum has a stronger fragrance.
