樟芝...子實體？菌絲體？樟芝不是靈芝是台灣珍貴國寶級特有種的菇菌類又叫牛樟芝紅樟菇 Antrodia camphorata生長在台灣山區海拔450～1500公尺間的牛樟樹幹腐朽之心材內壁或枯死倒伏之牛樟木材陰暗潮濕之表面，非常的珍貴且稀少，因此又被稱為「台灣森林中的寶石」。真是子實體與菌絲體的拉鋸戰....看起來善笙生物科技的液態發酵樟芝菌絲體的專利與研究和偉翔生技人工培植樟芝子實體還是不同,以經濟效應而言子實體耗時高成本（將近一年）而液態發酵經濟環保（大約20多天）,以成分而言子實體以三帖類為主（抑制癌細胞）菌絲體以善笙宣稱的專利化合物Hepasim ,多醣體Camphoratan A均為主（保肝為主）,雖然還具有其他多種功效但還有待更多的研究報告....Latin Name Antrodia camphorata Alternative NamesNiu-Chang-ChihNiu-ChangNiu-Chang-kuDescriptionAntrodia camphorata is a highly valued polypore mushroom native to only to Taiwan. This orange-red to brown-red colored mushrooms are very bitter in taste with a camphor aroma. The mushroom grows only on one species of rainforest tree that is also native only to Taiwan, Cinnamomum kanehirai, usually in hollow areas of the trunks of mature trees. The host tree is related to the Camphor tree and contains highly aromatic oils. In Taiwan, this endemic tree species is highly valued for manufacturing furniture. The tree is becoming increasingly rare and is now protected by the government. Consequently, it has become increasingly difficult to find Antrodia fruitbodies in the forest and the price for high-quality fruitbodies has increased dramatically. Scientists have recently developed techniques to culture the mycelia of this mushroom in submerged liquid culture and also with Solid State Fermentation (SSF) methodologies. Both the fruitbodies and mycelia have been proven to contain powerful, medicinally-active compounds. Golden Gourmet Mushrooms, Inc. is the first company in the West to successfully cultivate the mycelia of this unique species.Known Active ConstituentsPolysaccharidesTriterpenoidsSterolsPurported UsesAnti-cancerHepatoprotection (liver protection)Treatment of alcohol induced hepatitisAnti-bacterialAnti-oxidantAnti-inflammationAnti-allergenicAnti-fatigueImmunity enhancementBlood circulation improvementMedicinal Properties and Modes of ActionsAntrodia is well-known and highly valued as a medicinal mushroom in Taiwan, but it is relatively unknown outside of Taiwan and virtually unknown in the Western world.In Traditional Taiwanese Medicine, Antrodia is commonly used as a anti-cancer, anti-itching, anti-allergy, and liver protective drug. Scientific research have also shown that the mushroom can be useful in the treatment of diabetes, cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, hepatitis, and many types of cancers including liver, lung, cervical, colon, and breast cancers and also leukemia and adenoma.
