Abstract
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been in use since ancient times, most TCM is consumed directly without going through the extraction and purification process, several components are difficult to digest and absorb, such as cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. Some fungus (e.g. Ganoderma lucidum) can break down these difficult-to-use components in TCM, allowing the beneficial elements to be released more easily. As a result, these fungi had been studied and utilized in TCM research and development, Chinese herbal cosmetics development, and Chinese medicine waste utilization.After Ganoderma lucidum co-cultivation with various TCM, however, the degradation process and culture results may change. As a result, more research is required to understand the culture patterns of Ganoderma lucidum when cultivated with various herbal medicines. Ganoderma lucidum was cultivated with varied doses of ginseng root, reed rhizome, and kirilow rhodiola root in this experiment (3g, 5g, and 7g). The changes in fungal biomass and the amount of medication residue left in the medium were compared and studied after multiple days (3 days, 6 days, or 9 days) of incubation. The results showed that the Ganoderma lucidum- ginseng culture was superior to Ganoderma lucidum- phragmites, while the mycelial growth of Ganoderma lucidum was weaker in the rhodiola system. Electron micrographs showed that in the Ganoderma lucidum- ginseng culture, there were many mycelia attached to the surface of the ginseng powder, slightly less on the phragmites, and none could be seen on the rhodiola. The cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin were most degraded in the ginseng system residue, followed by phragmites, and least in rhodiola. This may be the reason for the Ganoderma grow best in the ginseng system
