Antrodia cinnamomea is a species of fungus native to Taiwan with medicinal uses. It exists only as a parasite on stout camphor trees, and is the only type of wood-rotting fungus that has been discovered on stout camphor trees. It is a member of the family Polyporaceae and the genus Antrodia. The stout camphor tree is a large evergreen broadleaf tree native to Taiwan; it is currently classified as a Type I protected tree species, and is very rare, which has also increased the rarity of Antrodia cinnamomea. Antrodia cinnamomea resembles Ganoderma fungus in shape; and is salmon in color. Taiwan's indigenous peoples used this fungus to treat hangovers, and research has proven that its active substances (triterpenoids, polysaccharides) are found in concentrations several dozen times greater than those in Ganoderma, which accounts for Antrodia cinnamomea's extremely great value and medicinal effectiveness. Because wild Antrodia cinnamomea is so rare and costly, most Antrodia products currently on the market are derived from artificial culture of the fungus. Artificial culture methods include solid culture, liquid culture, and culture on basswood, and the resulting product consists of mycelium and fruiting bodies.
