From managing diabetes mellitus to preventing angiogenesis of the invading tumour, the mushroom is gaining popularity in the scientific community. Thriving in subtropical regions, this fungi has become commercially available in several countries. A few studies have also depicted G. lucidum's potential in combating Covid-19's side effects.
