The widely cultivated Chinese Lingzhi is a famous fungus with significant medicinal and economic value, which has commonly been misidentified as for a long period of time. The scientific binomial of the fungus is always a hotly debated question that revolves around . and . . To interpret the species concept of the taxon, six specific primers for . and one universal primer were designed. Through directed and nested PCRs, we obtained nine ITS sequences from the holotype (HMAS 42798) of . . By genome sequencing, the ITS sequence of the first cultivated Lingzhi (HMAS 25103) was assembled. Based on a phylogenetic study of the genus , the correct name for widely cultivated species in China was confirmed as . , and . should be a later synonym.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the genus in the Ganodermataceae family, highlighting its significance for medicinal purposes and noting the absence of sequenced mitogenomes from dikaryon strains until now.
- Four new mitogenomes were assembled for analysis, revealing a high nucleotide similarity of 82.93-92.02% with reference mitogenomes, along with 15 core protein-coding genes identified for phylogenetic studies.
- The research identified genes 9 and 4L as reliable markers for constructing DNA barcodes, demonstrating their potential to distinguish species effectively and reflecting evolutionary divergence in related clades.

Basidiomycetes, known for their production of bioactive compounds, traditionally use simple sugars for fermentation. However, their ability to degrade complex plant polysaccharides through enzyme secretion presents potential for the use of renewable raw materials. This study focused on the optimization of exopolysaccharide (EPS) production and efficient substrate consumption by Ganoderma lucidum using response surface methodology (RSM).

Wildcrafted sources of mushrooms including and can be limited from a scarcity and quality perspective, but solid fermentation processes in cultivation settings can provide an efficient way to deliver whole mushroom preparations of a consistent composition. Despite the historical use of these mushrooms, few published reports have explored their potential subchronic oral toxicity or genotoxicity, either from specific components or whole mushroom preparations.
