Ganoderma lucidum, renowned for its rich polysaccharides and triterpenoid active compounds, possesses significant medicinal value, driving strong market demand. This study examines the effects of different cultivation substrates on the yield and quality of G. lucidum, aiming to identify substrates that can effectively enhance its yield and active compound content. The study evaluated various substrates, including sawdust, agricultural waste, and modified media, finding that specific lignocellulosic substrates, such as coconut sawdust, significantly increased the yield and biological efficiency of G. lucidum. Additionally, the incorporation of supplements like olive oil and copper was found to enhance the triterpenoid and phenolic compound content in G. lucidum. The findings indicate that optimizing substrate formulations and additives can improve the medicinal value and economic viability of G. lucidum production, providing a scientific basis for achieving efficient and sustainable cultivation. This study has significant practical implications for the development of the G. lucidum cultivation industry, suggesting future directions for further optimization of substrates and cultivation conditions to meet the market demand for high-quality G. lucidum.
