In a small mountain village in Guizhou, China, a farmer got lost in the forest while foraging for medicinal herbs. Fortunately, this unexpected incident brought many positive changes to the elderly man. While wandering and trying to find his way, the farmer stumbled upon a strange object clinging to the trunk of an ancient tree.
This object looked very peculiar; it was a giant mushroom formed by countless smaller mushrooms. The mushroom stood 50 cm tall and had a diameter equivalent to that of an umbrella. Having never seen such a large mushroom in his life, the farmer decided to dig it up and take it home.
When the man returned, villagers flocked to see it. Everyone congratulated the farmer for finding such a valuable treasure. It turned out that the giant mushroom he discovered was actually wild Ganoderma lucidum, a highly rare and precious medicinal mushroom.

Wild Ganoderma lucidum typically grows in damp, deep forests and lives as a parasite on trees. There are hundreds of varieties due to differences in growth environments and harvesting times. Ganoderma lucidum has a 3,000-year history of use in medicine. Among them, the blue, yellow, brown, white, black, and purple varieties have the highest medicinal properties.
The mushroom that the farmer dug up is a species that grows for many years, with the new growth layer accumulating on top of the previous year’s layer. Because it grows in deep forests and rugged mountains, as well as in pristine woodlands, its age can reach several decades.
Wild Ganoderma lucidum has significantly higher medicinal effects compared to cultivated mushrooms. This type of mushroom has garnered attention from scientists worldwide due to its anti-tumor properties. Furthermore, Ganoderma lucidum can prevent, control, and treat various other diseases such as diabetes, gout, cancers, throat diseases, and support patients recovering from strokes, colon issues, and more.
Doctors have noted that Ganoderma lucidum is also effective for conditions like angina, coronary artery disease, unstable blood pressure, bronchitis, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic hepatitis, women’s menopausal issues, digestive disorders, etc.

Clinically, Ganoderma lucidum is a natural herb that effectively treats symptoms like dizziness, insomnia, anxiety, shortness of breath, weakness, and asthma. Modern medicine also uses Ganoderma lucidum to treat neurasthenia, hypertension, chronic bronchitis, and asthma allergies…
Additionally, this wild Ganoderma lucidum thrives in natural conditions, making it extremely rare. Because of this, it is not commonly found in many markets and often comes with a high price tag.
The news of the farmer in Guizhou finding this “giant” Ganoderma lucidum quickly spread like wildfire. Many people from afar came to see it and requested to buy it at high prices. One businessman even offered 1.5 million RMB (over 5 billion VND).
However, the elderly man firmly rejected this offer. His decision to pass up such a life-changing opportunity left his family and the entire village feeling perplexed and regretful.
