Ganoderma lucidium mushrooms are an important natural source of foods and medicines. Mushrooms represent a major and untapped source of potent new pharmaceutical products. Traditional aboriginals knew the medicinal importance of edible and wild mushrooms and these are now being screened for their bioactivity in various ailments. The effect of Ganoderma lucidium extract on cancer, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, hepatitis, wound healing and antimicrobial activities have been reported by many researchers. The undesired side effects of antibiotics and antimicrobial and the appearance of resistant and mutant strains make the development of new agents an urgent requirement.
