Etymology
According to Wasson (1968), this compound noun is coined by Ban Gu (班固) (32 - 92 CE) in the poem 《郊祀靈芝歌》 ("Ode to the Numinous Mushroom for the Suburban Sacrifice"): Ban Gu's coining is inspired by the description of a Ganoderma mushroom (芝) as "numinous" (靈) in a poem composed in 109 BCE by Emperor Wu of Han (漢武帝 (Hàn Wǔ Dì)) and preserved in the Book of Han, "chapter 22" (translation based on Wasson, 1968)
