It is a new species of the genus Antrodia (family Polyporaceae, Aphyllophorales) that is parasitic on the inner cavity of the endemic species C. kanehirai Hay in mountain areas between altitudes 200 to 2000 m.  Cinnamomum kanehirae hay is an evergreen broadleaf arbor with a heavy aroma and it could be used as a good anti-insect material.  Fungi cannot grow on it except Antrodia camphorate which is then treated as a treasure in the countryside.

Grape king Bio is a manufacture of functional ingredients for the food, beverage, medical food and pharmaceutical industries.  We can use the fermentation technology to produce many kind of mushroom mycelium such as Antrodia camphorata, Ganoderma lucidum, Cordyceps, Coriolus versicolor, Phellinus linteus, Grifola frondosa, Hericium erinaceum, Lignosus rhinocerus and Armillaria mellea.  These kinds of extracts are mycelium products; they can be food additives and functional ingredients.  For the Antrodia camphorata mycelia, it is red-brown powder containing at less 12% active polysaccharide.  Other effective ingredients containing Adenosine ≥ 0.8 mg/g, Sesamin ≥ 1.2 mg/g, Antrosterol ≥ 3.0 mg/g and γ-aminobutyric acid ≥ 4.0 mg/g.
