The growth temperature is in the range of 3 ~ 4℃, with 26 ~ 28℃ being the best. It grows well under the conditions of substrate water content close to 2%, air relative humidity 9% and pH 5 ~ 6. Ganoderma lucidum is an aerobic bacterium, and its fruiting body should be cultivated with sufficient oxygen and scattered light.
2. Growing environment
In summer and autumn, it is mostly born beside the wooden stakes of broad-leaved trees in the forest, or on wood, standing trees and fallen trees, and sometimes it is born on conifers, and it is cultivated.
