Pengzu Lingzhi originates from Wuyi Mountain, which has been the breeding place of wild Lingzhi for thousands of years. The local climate, water source, soil and surrounding ecological environment are in harmony with the nature of Lingzhi.
Yongcheng lies in a place known as Xuanpu on the Kunlun Mountain. It is also known as Yujing and it is the residence of the Queen Mother of the West and other immortals. The dwellers there cultivate about 12,000 types of Lingzhi in the field, which are solely for immortals’ taking.
