Of the Shiny Lackporling is one of the oldest natural remedies. It stands out due to its unusual color and, unlike other mushrooms, cannot be used to prepare meals. The glossy varnish has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment and prophylaxis of various diseases for around 4000 years.
Occurrence & cultivation of the glossy Lackporling
The German name goes back to its appearance: The medicinal mushroom has a varnish-like surface in various colors from yellowish to red-black glossy. The most effective are the red-black glossy lacquer pores. The fungus grows fan-shaped at the base of deciduous trees and sometimes also colonizes conifers. Occasionally, hikers can also find it at the edges of the paths.
Its surface is covered with concentric furrows. The whitish underside has pores. Ganoderma lucidum usually grows sessile on the tree bark. Its mushroom meat cannot be used for food preparation because of its hard consistency and tastes bitter. The health-promoting mushroom occurs in Europe and Asia. Since the Asian stocks have been almost completely harvested, it is grown in cultures there. Ganoderma lucidum also develops the coveted antler shape there.
Effect & application
The Shiny Lackporling has an almost universal effect, which is intensified with the additional intake of vitamin C. 400 bio-active ingredients have already been proven. The mushroom contains around 150 triterpenes (bitter substances), 100 polysaccharides, fats, vegetable proteins, carbohydrates, alkaloids, ergosterol (a vitamin D2 precursor), calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron, manganese, copper and germanium. It has anti-bacterial and anti-viral effects and strengthens the immune system.
For example, it prevents herpes simplex and herpes zoster viruses from entering the host cell. If you already have shingles, the Shiny Lackporling alleviates the severe pain and allows the rash to heal thanks to its strong anti-inflammatory properties. Shiny Lackporling has a phlegm-loosening and cough-relieving effect.
Its anti-allergenic properties are used to treat asthma. Reishi lowers high blood pressure and normalizes total cholesterol. It improves heart function by ensuring that the heart muscle can absorb 1.5 times as much oxygen. The traditional Chinese remedy also prevents blood platelets from clumping together and thus protects against thrombosis.
The glossy Lackporling stimulates the release of insulin and promotes digestion and detoxification: Thanks to its high germanium content, blood and liver are cleaned, metabolic waste products and toxins are expelled. It also reduces the side effects of chemotherapy. The radiation-damaged blood is improved by stimulating blood cell production.
Reishi is also used in the accompanying cancer therapy: the proteins it contains have an anti-cancer effect, the polysaccharides stimulate the immune system. Triterpenes kill cancer cells. The glossy lacquer porling is used internally and externally. The patient can buy it in powder form in capsule and tablet form. The freshly picked mushroom can be cut into strips and cooked covered. The patient drinks one cup of the self-made mushroom tea with his meal every day. The extract is applied to wounds and insect bites with a brush.

In rheumatoid arthritis patients, it decreases the number of inflammation markers.
The triterpenes block the release of histamine and thus have an anti-allergic effect. Like cortisone, the ingredients of the glossy lacquer sporlet inhibit inflammation and thus help in the treatment of asthma. Adenosine has a relaxing effect on muscular dystrophy and tense muscles.
