Reishi mushrooms have been esteemed by traditional Asian medicine for millennia. Clinical studies suggest they may help treat cancer and other disease. Ganoderma applanatum and G. tsugae are locally occurring relatives of reishi. Though routinely foraged, the chemical makeup of wild specimens is unknown. Mushrooms were collected from sites across Pennsylvania, and their mycochemicals were extracted. In the coming weeks, ganoderic acids A and B will be quantified for final analysis via HP-LC.
