Coffin fungus is the treasure in the eyes and hearts of the older generation in rural areas in those years. It is said that this fungus is comparable to a panacea and has the function of curing all diseases.
A story about coffin fungus, it is said that during the Republic of China, there was a man in his early fifties in a rural area. This man is temporarily called farmer a. Farmer A suddenly had a strange dream on the evening of the 15th day of the seventh lunar month, dreaming that his dead father told him that there was a priceless treasure in your great grandfather's grave.
Jia Min thought the dream was real, just like his father's dead soul came out and told him that there was a treasure in the ancestral grave when the Yin and Yang gates were opened in the underworld, so passerby A believed what his father said in the dream, and he was afraid to tell others about it, for fear that others in the same clan would worry about the treasure. Farmer A spent several nights trying to take out the treasure in grandpa's grave and dug it up with his son.
When they opened the slate covered on the grave, they found something similar to Ganoderma lucidum on the coffin board in the grave, and it was facing the heart. A passer-by picked this ganoderma lucidum and wondered if it was a treasure. Is it in the coffin? So he let his son hold the lantern, and he opened the lid of the coffin. The hair, beard and skin of his great-grandfather who died 100 years ago are still well preserved in the coffin, but nothing is left in the coffin.
A few days later, farmer A asked around the village about the old man. What does ganoderma lucidum grow on the coffin mean? After many troubles, he finally found that this is not an ordinary wild ganoderma lucidum. The oldest old man in the village said: Ganoderma lucidum growing in coffins is called coffin fungus. If it grows from a dead population, it is a priceless treasure that can come back to life. If it grows on a coffin, it is valuable to the heart, and aiming at the heart is valuable.
The old man said that the coffin fungus belongs to medicinal materials, and it only grows on the bodies that used too much opium or took too many tonics during their lifetime. Coffin fungus can cure all diseases and strengthen the body, but it is the most yin thing and must not be used more.
Farmer A is afraid to sell this thing outside, for fear that his family will find something else if they know about it, but there is such an evil thing at home, for fear that it will affect his fortune. So he thought: since it is a panacea for all diseases, you can keep fit. Will eating more have the effect of immortality or longevity? So he boiled the coffin fungus in water, drank the soup and ate the fungus.
But after eating this coffin fungus, farmer A's body changed, and he became stiff every day, with great strength. He can knock down the door of his house when he walks, until he becomes a zombie, jumps and walks, and starts to act at night, eating live animals. Everyone in the village said that he was possessed by ghosts and now he is a zombie. Only his son in the family understands that he has eaten too much coffin fungus. Later, when farmer A began to attack the villagers he met at night, his son killed his father with explosives at the strong request of all the villagers, and told the villagers about getting coffin fungus and turning his father into a zombie, so everyone knew the whole process.
The story is over. This story is just a legend. Don't believe it. Anyway, coffin fungus is said to be a panacea. It is said that a good coffin is needed, and the deceased must have eaten various supplements such as velvet antler and ganoderma lucidum before his death. Some people even say that the deceased must have a breath to enter the coffin, and the conditions are quite harsh.
If the coffin is made of oak in the mountains and then begins to rot in the soil, if there happens to be spore bacteria on the wood, there will be coffin bacteria. Coffin fungus has several names: blood ganoderma lucidum, ground ganoderma lucidum, dragon coffin fungus and ghost fungus.
