Cool pic man! I find these quite often. What do you know about their medicinal properties Twiz? Do they compare with Ganoderma lucindum in any way?

Supposedly, but I really am unsure.

An old fallen Douglas fir, most likely. It was hard to identify trees due to all the moss!

Not yet. I am contacting Paul to see if he is interested in cloning the Agarikon.

I found quite a few of these last year and I was ID'ing them as G. Tsugae.  What's the difference?

I'm not sure about the medicinal properties but apparently all Ganodermas in that family have anti-carcinogenic and immune-boosting properties.  I've been making tea with them and I'm pretty healthy, so I'll assume they're effective :tongue:

Obviously it's tough to isolate beneficial properties without a proper lab at your disposal but the literature and Chinese history claims that they're a powerful healer.  My gf works in the natural health industry and one thing I've learned is that people react differently to all kinds of herbs/supplements etc, and/or sometimes it takes years to see benefits, so the efficacy of any one thing is always in question.

I'm always curious when it comes to new research/developments when it comes to medicinal mushrooms....any new info is always appreciated :cheers:

Well, according to Michael Kuo over at MushroomExpert.com: "Ganoderma tsugae is found on conifer wood--especially on hemlock--and has paler flesh; otherwise it is virtually indistinguishable from Ganoderma lucidum. Ganoderma oregonense is a conifer lover of the Pacific Northwest and New Mexico; it has larger spores (10-16 x 7.5-9 µ) and a much larger fruiting body (up to one meter across!)."

Thanks for the input, and I share your sentiment in the last paragraph!

If they're on Hemlock, it's likely tsugae.  If they're on D fir, there's a better chance of it being oregonese. Both are common in the Cascades. These were all found within 50 miles of Index in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness area.  The fallen log is Hemlock, so I suspect those are G tsugae, although I didn't positively ID them at the time.  The standing tree is D fir, so I suspect those are G oregonese.

It's interesting, because without even reading what trees you mentioned that each specimen was growing on, I could tell macroscopically the G. tsugae from the G. oregnense. I find it to be pretty easy in fact. The G. tsugae has much more prominent growth rings, with more yellow in them. They also have a much more uniform, smooth texture in comparison to the G. oregonense. Here is a specimen of G. oregonense that I found in the foothills of the Coastal Mountain range in Oregon..

Ahhh ok I see it now....regardless, they're both beautiful mushrooms and judging by how similar they are, I'm sure their medicinal properties are probably approximately the same (not accounting for substrate, environment etc..)

Sweet finds guys..:thumbup::thumbup:
