Because of moving the grave, at 3 am on February 3, 65438, Ms. Li and her relatives and friends organized workers to open the grave of her ancestors about 100 years ago. Ms. Li found a big fungus on Zuzu's coffin board. Other relatives, friends and workers heard the news, and after young students searched online, everyone talked for a while. As a result, the saying of "blood ganoderma lucidum" spread.
Plant experts say it is normal to grow this kind of wood rot fungi on wooden coffins in a humid underground environment. Diao Benshu, a famous old Chinese medicine practitioner in Sichuan Province, said that there is no such thing as "blood ganoderma lucidum" in the National Pharmacopoeia, and such fungi should be used with caution when it is not clear whether the deceased died of an epidemic.
Moving to the grave, I found bacteria growing on the coffin.
Is the name of Internet search "Blood Ganoderma lucidum"?
Due to the demolition, on February 2, 65438, nearly 40 members of the Li family in Huangjia Town, Shuangliu got together. According to the plan and agreed time, from the next day, they will move more than ten graves in the family cemetery one after another. On that day, they will first pay homage to their deceased relatives. The Li family cemetery is in a bamboo forest, and the ancestors of Ms. Li were the first to be buried in it. "It's my grandfather's mother, who has been dead for about 100 years." Ms. Li told reporters that her grandparents and father were buried here.
At 3 am on February 3, 65438, about 40 relatives and friends and six or seven workers came to the cemetery to start moving graves. About an hour later, Zuzu's grave was opened. It was an arched brick tomb, and the flashlight shone in: there was a coffin about three meters long in the tomb. Ms. Li recalled that she noticed that the top of the coffin lid was a little different. "I shouted, what a big fungus!"
Hearing the news, everyone gathered around. After the workers dragged the coffin out, fungi appeared in front of everyone. "I saw a white lump and thought it was the decoration on the coffin at first." People at the scene talked a lot, and Ms. Li's daughter searched online through her mobile phone. "I saw on the Internet that this fungus is called blood ganoderma lucidum. Some people say that this fungus has high medicinal value." Ms. Li recalled that they saw on the Internet that similar fungi had been bought by people from other places for 6,543,800 yuan.

The weight of auricularia auricula on the coffin board is more than 3 kg.
On the afternoon of the 9th, under the guidance of Ms. Li's family, the reporter went to the Li family cemetery and saw that several graves had been opened. Ms. Li's ancestral grave is a brick arch tomb, about 3 square meters, which smells damp when approaching.
Several boards painted with black paint were placed in front of the tomb. "That fungus grows at this end of the coffin plate." Ms. Li pointed to a semi-circular heavy wood nearly 3 meters long on the ground. The coffin board is painted with black paint and yellow powder, and the top is notched. "Fungi grow here."
Ms. Li's niece took out the fungus from a square paper box. The reporter noticed that the widest part of the fungus is about 40 cm, one side is dark and the other side is horizontal and vertical. Ms. Li told the Chengdu Business Daily that this is because the other side of the fungus grows against the tomb wall. According to the weighing, the weight of this fungus is above 3 kg. She took out another long mushroom from the carton. "This also grows on the coffin board, but it grows inside."
Some smaller bacteria were found at the scene, but they were taken back by their families and soaked in wine. In several tombs, Ms. Li and others also found bracelets, hairpins and many coins in the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.

Expert: "The coffin is made of wood, and the underground is wet. It is normal when it grows."
Reminder: Diao Benshu, director of the Chinese Medicine Department of the Seventh Hospital of Chengdu, said that there is no such thing as "blood ganoderma lucidum" in the National Pharmacopoeia. For someone who wants to take this "coffin fungus", he emphasizes "careful use". "If the deceased dies of an epidemic, it may spread the disease."
After seeing the pictures taken by the reporter, the plant experts said that the fungus in the photos is a wood-rotting fungus of Polyporus, also called tree tongue, which parasitizes wood and decomposes wood into sugar as nutrition. The coffin is made of wood, the underground is wet, and it is normal when it grows. After discussing with another expert who studies fungi, they visually observed that this strain may be echinodermata or Ganoderma lucidum.
"If [fungi] are really so valuable, the money from the sale will be divided equally among families." Ms. Li said that jade beads and bracelets are the same. She said that the ancient coins found in the ancient tomb, "every family got a few as a souvenir."

Knowing the expert's judgment, Ms. Li bluntly said that they would not throw away this fungus. "This thing was left by our ancestors to future generations, and we will keep it as a souvenir for our family."
It's not bad to keep it as a souvenir.
