:: . Technical background With a background in orchid plantations and an overwhelming interest in traditional medications, Mr. Leow Soon Seng (Researcher in Mycology) started a research on the various species of mushrooms in Malaysia, in 1983. He discovered that the climate (28¡ÆC-32¡ÆC) and humidity in Malaysia are very conducive for Ganoderma cultivation. After conducting different of tests and experiments, he discovered that Ganoderma Lucidum has the highest therapeutic value, compared to other types of mushrooms. Although there are 200 species of the plant, only six types has the greatest therapeutic value. Subsequently, these six species are used to produce Gano Excel's Ganoderma. Mr. Leow has adopted the tissue culture concept together with the usage of 100% organic elements for the cultivation of Ganoderma.   He uses paddy husks, brown rice flour and rubber tree scrapes as the medium of plantation. No chemicals, pesticides or hormones are used in the cultivation. Exposure to sun is also controlled in order to maintain the highest therapeutic value. The Ganoderma takes a period of 3 months to mature and the plucking process is closely supervised. :: . Ganoderma Organic Plantation A proper environment is essential in ensuring high quality Ganoderma production. Gano Excel owns the world's biggest Organic Ganoderma Plantation in the world which incorporates an environment-friendly concept. The greenhouse maintains a sophisticated and modern technology, as proper cultivation methods and surroundings are essential in producing Ganoderma with high-therapeutic value. :: .
