Scientists have successfully mapped 98.15% of the genetic blueprint of the medicinal mushroom Ganoderma Zizhi S2, identifying 8,521 core genes and 880 unique genes specific to this variety. Notably, they discovered a new immune-boosting protein, reinforcing that Zizhi S2 is the same species as the renowned Ganoderma sinense used in traditional medicine.
