Mycelium – is the name of the early harvest or ‘baby’ Ganoderma lucidum.
There are different components and benefits of the Ganoderma lucidum mushroom – the Spores (seeds ready to pollinate), the Mycelium (early harvest, these threads have their own unique properties) and the Lucidum or the cap part of the mushroom (the mature plant).
Mycelium threads are the root-like body that produces mushrooms, resembling a network or web of activity.
