Ganoderma tsugae
    #20054129 -

So has anyone here had any real success with cultivating Ganoderma tsugae. I have seen a few threads with mixed results. Well today I finally came across some G.tsugae. Oddly or awesomely enough I found it in the same town within a mile or so of where I found my Ganoderma resinaceum. This town is loaded with reishi. But I digress, so I found several conks coming out of a hemlock tree up on the edge of a ravine. They are last years remains and don't look all too inviting, but that's alright I know where the tree is and can go back later in the year when I am back in town.

  There is an incredible amount of insect damage but there are large areas of white flesh, so I think I can pretty easily pull some tissue out there for a culture. I will try to grow it on a variety of substrates as well as make up a bunch of dowels and inoculate a bunch of fallen logs in a pine forest near my home. This is a very stunning mushroom.

Tsugae colonizes quick and easily but getting it to pin may be difficult, I never was able to and I know someone else on here had the same problem.  Not sure if it needs some kind of bacteria or what :shrug:

They're just starting to pin here so I may get another clone and give it a shot again if I have time, let me know if you have any success!

my clone last year grew to about the size of a quarter and called it quits.  maybe it needs some special agar?  a quick glance at Aloha's culture bank calls for PDY or MEPYAC :lol:

which apparently is Malt Extract with Yeast, Peptone, and Activated Carbon

Maybe this would be a good opportunity to try starting from spore. The conk I brought back has a dusting of spores on it, though I am sure getting those cleaned up on agar would be a nightmare given the condition it is in. But a more varied set of genetics, maybe one of them would be willing to put out in the conditions given to it.





It's in some pretty bad shape but I have gotten successful cultures from worse, it is mostly insect damage, plenty of solid chunks of flesh to work with.

I'm just excited to have found my first tsugae.And now I know where to look later in the year for wild harvest.

I don't see any hope for that.  Wait until they pop this year and clone from the white leading edge of the growth.

If you get a good fruiting strain, it fruits easily on paper or wood.  The pics below are all G tsugae.

Nice!  I'll have to try again and see if a different clone will work.
