Puff ball... Lycoperdon genus??
    #20385247 -







I found this guy today. He had a twin next to him.

Area: on hill side, not the best soil. Hills of SC some clay and sand in the mix. ( you can see on the attached mycelium)

Size: baseball sized
Feel: Rubbery skin like texture, firm but maliable.
Inside: Typical mushy smell, Pale yellow, more like gel, not powdery in the sack. The "sterile base" appears white.

The ants had found this guy before I could.

Its been nice the last few days after some good rain, lots of mushy speices are sowing there faces.

pretty sure on this one??
To be clear SC meant south carolina. Not doubting. Just asking.
Biggest puffball I have seen. So these are edible from what I read.

Calvatia species likely cyathiformis.

Ok.
Mr. Cloudy,
I have collected several nice  species from the ganoderma genus this summer.
What are you using the resinaceum for? Medicinal?

So far I have mostly just been growing it. I have just now started using it myself. I was doing tea but cannot stand the taste. I actually boiling a water/ alcohol extract down with the intention of putting it in capsules. I am very interested in the Ganoderma genus. They are a beautiful mushroom and their medicinal properties are a plus.

They have gained aot of my intrest in the last few months as well. I figured they tasted like shit just from the texture and smell.
What are the growing parameters for the resinaeum?
The picture you have there with the young specimens, why does it look black in some spots in the substrate?

I have read that this genus is a wonder in the medicinal world.
Ill get some pics up later today of the specimens I found this summer.

The growing conditions are fairly variable I believe, for the first time I am pitting a few Ganodermas against eachother in my chamber. Resinaceum is by far the fastest.



Resinaceum is on top, two strains, the one on the left is a 3-4 days behind the other one due to some weird thing that happened with the agar wedge in that jar. The one on the left on the bottom is Ganoderma curtisii, the right Ganoderma applanatum. All were introduced to the chamber on the same day except the left side resinaceum, and even it is far beyond the other two.

The black in the jars is the mycelium forming a tough outer skin. It occurs on occasion, not sure why, it could be due to "overly wet" conditions.
