Traveling to the Earth: My martial spirit is a hoe

Ganoderma lucidum is actually quite strange. Although it looks very similar to mushrooms, it only looks similar in appearance.

Generally, the surface of mushrooms feels wet but not smooth, just like a frosted surface.

The surface of Ganoderma lucidum is very smooth, and at first glance it feels very dry, as if it has been wrinkled by the sun, but when you touch it with your hands, it feels fresh and tender.

Of course, I am talking about live Ganoderma lucidum. Most of the Ganoderma lucidum sold on the market now are dried, which will not give you this feeling.

After seeing Ganoderma lucidum, Luo Qiong was very happy and walked there in three steps and two steps, but the road in the mountain was not easy to walk.

There are many rocks in the Qinling Mountains. Looking at a very close place, sometimes you have to go around several turns to get there. Moreover, because no one enters or exits the mountain for a long time, all kinds of weeds and vines grow freely.

Luo Qiong could only draw out the sickle and walk while clearing the way. After more than ten minutes, he finally arrived at the Ganoderma lucidum plant.

I saw that the roots of this Ganoderma lucidum were deeply rooted in the fallen leaves, leaving only a red umbrella exposed, with a bright red luster on the surface.

It's about the same size as a tea cup lid and looks very pretty.

Luo Qiong stepped forward, looked at it for a while, then slowly squatted down and pushed aside the leaves under the Ganoderma lucidum.

As the leaves were pushed aside, a long dark red Ganoderma root appeared in front of Luo Qiong.

It was a full five or six centimeters long, but it was not the end yet. Luo Qiong had to continue digging until he finally saw a wooden stake when it was about ten centimeters long.

He stretched out his hand and gently broke off a piece of bark from the wooden stake.

The Ganoderma lucidum grew on this wooden pile.

When Luo Qiong saw that he had dug up the roots, he was worried that he would damage the Ganoderma lucidum. He wanted to sell the Ganoderma lucidum for money. If the quality was not good, he would not be able to get a good price.

So he simply sat on the ground and began to carefully clean up the rotten wood and leaves around him with his hands.

"Drug King!"

After all the rotten leaves around it were cleared away, a tree stump twenty to thirty centimeters high appeared in front of Luo Qiong. But when Luo Qiong looked at the root of the Ganoderma lucidum, he suddenly let out a cry of surprise.

He saw that the root of this Ganoderma lucidum did not grow directly on the tree stump like other Ganoderma lucidum, but grew on a palm-sized, bright red body with many raised bumps.

The surface of this pimple is the same as the root of Ganoderma lucidum, but the color is darker, leaning towards black and red. The surface is more like the back of a toad, with more rounded bulges.

Luo Qiong observed again and finally confirmed that what he found was indeed a medicine king.

Don’t misunderstand that the medicine king here is different from what everyone imagines. It’s not some centuries-old medicine.

The king of medicine mentioned here in Riyue Village refers to the Ganoderma lucidum germ, which is what people often call mycelium.

Under normal circumstances, Ganoderma lucidum is spread by spores. The spores are carried by wind, water or animals and grow wherever they fall.

In this method of propagation, there is usually only one Ganoderma lucidum in a place, and even if there are more, there will not be more than three.

And because it reproduces asexually, the quality of Ganoderma reproduced from spores is generally relatively stable.

Another situation is reproduction through hyphae, which is what Luo Qiong is seeing now.

Mycelial reproduction is sexual reproduction, which means that two different Ganoderma lucidum strains mate to form new hyphae, and then grow to a suitable place to form a new Ganoderma lucidum.

This method of reproduction may lead to genetic exchange of Ganoderma lucidum, so the new Ganoderma lucidum produced may have stronger adaptability and more functions.

Of course, this kind of mycelium is not enough to be called the king of medicine. Only when many hyphae gather together and merge with each other to form the palm-sized large hyphae similar to plant rhizomes can it be called "medicine". king".

This kind of drug king, on the one hand, will have more comprehensive effects due to polysomy hybridization, and at the same time, it will also mutate into more special characteristics.

On the other hand, because other Ganoderma lucidum is reproduced by spores, if the Ganoderma lucidum in that place is directly harvested, it will not grow in this area in the future.

But the King of Medicine is different. After you pick one, as long as the body of the "King of Medicine" is not damaged, a new Ganoderma lucidum will grow back after a while.

It is precisely because of its more comprehensive and stronger medicinal properties and its reproducibility that this mycelium aggregate is called the king of medicine.

Of course, there is another reason why it is called the King of Medicine, and that is that most of the shapes of this kind of hyphae will grow into a human-like shape.

If you look closely, you can see that it also has arms, legs, a body, a head, and even facial features.

Luo Qiong knelt down and observed for a while, and sure enough he saw that the palm-sized "King of Medicine" looked like a little person lying on the bed sleeping.

The arms and legs are complete, the body is round, and there is a small head, and a human face can be faintly seen on the head.

I don't know if it was self-imagination, but Luo Qiong just felt that this "King of Medicine" was just like a villain.

After observing for a while, Luo Qiong finally moved. He stretched out his hand and carefully grabbed the root of the Ganoderma lucidum, which is where it is connected to the "King of Medicine". With a slight force, he broke off the Ganoderma lucidum. .

But he did not move the "King of Medicine", but carefully covered him with dead leaves again.

Luo Qiong, who is familiar with medical skills, knows that the value of this medicine king is far higher than that of Ganoderma lucidum. If it is taken out, it can definitely be sold at a good price, and it can even directly solve their family's current economic crisis.

But he didn't do it, because if he took the King of Medicine, it would be an act of consuming all the benefits.

The mountains are generous, but people must learn to be content. Excessive asking will only make the mountains become more and more barren.

Cutting the grass without uprooting is the style of a qualified mountain man.

After covering the "King of Medicine", Luo Qiong picked up the Ganoderma lucidum in his hand and began to look at it carefully. The cap of the Ganoderma lucidum was about the size of a bowl, bigger than his hand, and the pig liver was as thick as a thumb.

I weighed it with my hands and found that it should weigh six or seven taels, and it was still a red Ganoderma lucidum.

This red Ganoderma lucidum is also called Danzhi. It is the only Ganoderma lucidum that can be cultivated artificially. The general price of artificial cultivation is 100-300 yuan per pound, but if it is wild, the value is very high, usually 8000 yuan per pound. About kilograms.

Of course, the pound mentioned here refers to dried Ganoderma lucidum. Under normal circumstances, the weight of fresh Ganoderma lucidum will be reduced by about 70% to 80% after drying. Therefore, after the Ganoderma lucidum is dried, it only looks like one or two.

But even so, it was worth more than 800 yuan. Luo Qiong got off to a good start this time in the mountains.

Ganoderma lucidum, a Chinese herbal medicine, is known as the Nine Great Chinese Immortals. It can replenish qi, calm the mind, relieve coughs and asthma. It has a certain effect on chronic stomach problems, neurasthenia, palpitations, dizziness, restless night sleep, chronic hepatitis, pyelonephritis, bronchial asthma, coronary heart disease, rhinitis, mastitis, and aphthous ulcers.

Therefore, it is very easy to sell in the medicinal materials market.

After harvesting a Ganoderma lucidum, Luo Qiong was obviously in a very good mood and felt much lighter walking along the way.

Not long after, they arrived at the next location, which was a small valley with a thick layer of leaves on the ground. Luo Qiong remembered that he had seen a Ganoderma lucidum here a few years ago.
