Abstract: The fruiting bodies of genus Ganoderma are their officinal organs,which have been widely used in China for over 2,000 years. Two Ganoderma species,G. lucidum and G. sinense,are listed in Chinese pharmacopoeia,but not included in the Medicinal and Edible Sources Directory. The safety of genus Ganoderma is the key issue to be recorded in the Medicinal and Edible Sources Directory. This paper reviews the safety assessment research of Ganoderma including acute toxicity,long-term toxicity,genetic toxicity,and the toxicology of chemical compositions from Ganoderma,which may provide references for its entry into the Medicinal and Edible Sources Directory.
