Overview:
First discovered in the temperate rain forest of Taiwan, Antrodia cinnamomea is one of the most highly valued medicinal mushrooms utilized in traditional Taiwanese folk medicine practices. Unlike the other mushroom species, the fruiting bodies of the Antrodia mushroom typically grow from the surface of a specific tree called “Niu-Chang Wood”, which makes this particular medicinal mushroom extremely to find and harvest from the natural settings. Recent studies indicates that the cinnamomea mycelia and fruit-body contains a significant amount of beta D-glucan, triterpenoids and lectin.
