Purple ganoderma does not taste bitter, and its triterpenoid content is low, but the purple ganoderma is certainly much stronger than ganoderma spore powder, which is not one of the varieties included in the Chinese People's Pharmacopoeia, which includes the dried fruiting bodies of ganoderma lucidum and purple ganoderma lucidum.
Spore powder is also largely free of bitter flavor, and its triterpene content is less than one-seventieth of that of the red ganoderma seeds.
If possible, wild ganoderma lucidum is preferred, because nowadays it is more common to find heavy metal and pesticide residues in cultivated ganoderma lucidum in China, which are not obvious to healthy people, but to cancer patients whose resistance has been severely reduced, these residues can be very harmful to their health.
