Dear my friends

It's truly extraordinary when the universe reveals its miracles before my eyes, even in very impossible conditions like today, this afternoon when I was walking around in the forest under the hot sun I found Lingzhi mushrooms that had been growing for a long time on the trunk of a rotting tamarind tree, this was a very satisfying discovery for me because I found mushrooms in a summer where it was very difficult for mushrooms to grow like the ones I found today.
Lingzhi mushroom which has the scientific name "Ganoderma lucidum" is a type of mushroom that has very high health value and uses in traditional medicine. In the past I noticed that many medical experts often used this mushroom as the main ingredient in the healing process of various types. disease, I actually often watch this in Mandarin series and Korean dramas, and in general people can find this fungus growing on logs that are still alive or dead (rotting), but this time I found Lingzhi mushrooms that had It has been growing for a long time on rotting tamarind stems, this can be proven in some of the pictures below which show some parts of this mushroom have dried.
So that my post can be understood more scientifically, I want to quote from Wikipedia to complement my writing from a trusted source;
Lingzhi or ling zhi (traditional Chinese: 靈芝; simplified Chinese: 灵芝; Japanese: reishi; Korean: yeongji, hangul: 영지) is a type of red fungus with the Latin name Ganoderma lucidum with a limited distribution in Europe and parts of China, where it grows on rotting hardwood trees that are renowned for their medicinal benefits.

It is possible that the hot weather that has occurred recently has played an important role in killing the Lingzhi mushroom that I just found, but what is unique is that even though this mushroom has experienced dryness in the mushroom stem, mushroom leaves and several other parts, the Lingzhi mushroom still looks fresh, I Not sure about how the Lingzhi mushroom can display such charm, is it possible that the Lingzhi mushroom contains an active ingredient that functions to make a person stay young when consuming this mushroom? This actually makes sense, it's not just speculation, we can analyze it based on the discovery of mushrooms that I found today. If you look carefully, you will find some interesting facts and exactly what I have stated.
thanks to the discovery of Lingzhi mushrooms today I have been inspired to increase my knowledge more deeply about various types of mushrooms to study, I really believe that the various types of mushrooms that grow definitely hold many secrets that are beneficial for life, I need to learn from many references to increase my insight I am about mushrooms, I also feel that I need to share with others about the fleeting discovery of this mushroom, for example, a temporary assumption that has the possibility of an active ingredient that functions to make someone stay young, but of course this assumption needs careful understanding and research. sustainable, hopefully today's discovery of the Lingzhi mushroom will be a reminder for all of us about how important it is to protect and preserve the nature around us so that we and nature can unite to reveal various beauties and wonders that are still a mystery.
