Physical biophysical composition

Ganoderma lucidum growth is divided into three phases, the stages of spores, mycelium and the fruiting body. Its life cycle starts after the ripened fruiting body release spores. These spores would land on dead, decaying woods and in adequate condition will germinate into mycelium. Mycelia will then undergo into three stages, from primary to secondary to tertiary mycelia and eventually the fruiting body will sprout out and in its late phase, basidium is formed and basidiosphores will be produced.
