At a specialized academic lecture on industry–university–research collaboration hosted by the Jinhua Research Institute, Cao Guodong, Deputy General Manager of Zhejiang JibaiChuan Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., delivered a presentation titled “Symbiosis Between Medicinal Plants and Forests: Pursuing Both Quality and Efficacy—JibaiChuan’s Exploration.” The keynote report, “An Innovative Path for the High-Quality Development of Chinese Medicinal Materials: ‘Cultivating Ganoderma lucidum Under Taxus chinensis,’” provides a detailed exposition on the wild‑adaptation cultivation and ecological processing of Ganoderma lucidum, while also identifying the challenges, bottlenecks, and difficulties encountered during the cultivation process.

The report points out that lingzhi can only maintain its proper qualities when it returns to the forest understory. “Spiritual Essence”: Ji Baichuan cultivates lingzhi mushrooms beneath yew trees, infusing the lingzhi spore powder with the remarkable properties of paclitaxel found in the yews, thereby fostering a symbiotic relationship between the lingzhi and the yew forest. During its growth, the lingzhi benefits from the nourishment of sunlight and rainfall, as well as the life‑giving support of the surrounding trees and soil. As a result, the wild‑crafted lingzhi spore powder—grown under the yew canopy—contains over 300 unique molecular constituents, with virtually no detectable pesticide residues or harmful heavy metals, and boasts a natural fungal aroma that is neither bitter nor sour, making it ready to be savored just as it is.

Looking ahead, JibaiChuan will seize this opportunity to launch research‑and‑development collaborations with the Zhejiang Central Laboratory on Ganoderma lucidum spore powder. Upholding tradition without being bound by the past and innovating while staying true to its roots, the company will further strengthen communication and cooperation, accelerate the translation of research findings into practical applications, and ensure the successful implementation of all collaborative projects outlined in the strategic agreement. Through such efforts, JibaiChuan aims to achieve mutually beneficial outcomes, jointly advancing the high‑quality development of Zhejiang’s traditional Chinese medicine sector and industry.
