Abstract: Purpose and Methods : To analyse the effect s of the Ganoderma spores on teratogenicity , mutagenicity and anti2mutagenicity by the test of teratogenesis in rat s and of chromosome aberration(CA) analysis in bone marrow cells of mice. Results : ①The rate of CA in mice induced by the spores had no significant difference as compared with the negative cont rol group ( P > 0. 05) . ②It did not show the development toxicity in the development of embryos after t reatment of the spores. ③Germination activated ganoderma spores could significantly depress the rate of CA induced by CP(40 mg/ kg and 50 mg/ kg) . The depression rate of CA induced by CP(50 mg/ kg) was above 52. 0 % and showed dose2response. Conclusion : Germination activated ganoderma spores had no effect s of teratogenicity and chromosome damage , and it possesses the antagonistic or protective effect to the chromosome damage.

Key words: germination activated/ ganoderma spores, teratogenicity, mutagenicity, antimutagenicity
