Yes. This is made from Ganoderma lucidum, now known as Ganoderma lingzhi, which is red reishi.
Ganoderma lingzhi is now the official name of one of the Chinese reishi species. It used to be known as Ganoderma lucidum, but recent research using DNA sequencing has shown that lucidum is actually a European species.
This becomes confusing because most of the Ganoderma research has been done on the Chinese reishi, then lucidum, now known as lingzhi. The research papers are solidified so they will not be updated though they now apply to lingzhi, not the European lucidum.
Many Chinese reishi products are still calling their products lucidum, but if you send them off for DNA analysis, they will come back showing lingzhi. The commercial side of reishi has not caught up to the scientific side yet, and many consumers know of lucidum but don’t know of lingzhi.
Even though the products are still the same, but the naming convention is now different.
Nammex, our supplier, labels this product as “Ganoderma lucidum (Ganoderma lingzhi).” We decided to be correct in the current proper species identification of our reishi product, so we use true Chinese reishi species lingzhi.
