Red Maple Reishi
    #20584559 - 09/18/14 04:43 PM (9 years, 5 months ago)

I know this is a Ganoderma sp. but which one im stuck...

It was growing at the base of a Red Maple that looked pretty bad.
The maple had some leaves, but it was by no way full.

Manicured lawns at my college was around the tree with the main entrance probably 5 feet away up maybe 1.5'. (at the bottom of the slope)

a quarter in the pic for reference. (a quarter is 1" diamter)
my thumb print from when i was removing it from the tree. (its the dark spot)
i believe the darker spot on the right to be the spores that ended up coming back :lol:




I believe it to be maybe G. Resinacium or the artist's conch.... cant think of the latin name

Not applanatum it's not varnishy.


--------------------
"Shrub, 30-90 cm. Leaves 2.5-) 4-9 cm, sessile or amplexicaul, broadly ovate to ovate-oblong, obtuse or rounded to subapiculate or subacute, when crushed not smelling of goats."

"The initial quake was a 6.6 but fairly shallow. I felt it as a prolonged up and down vibration followed by a jolt forward and then to the left, like square dancing."

Ganoderma resinaceum :thumbup:  Resinaceum at least in Europe has a moderate ability to breach living trees, applanatum has little to no ability to damage living trees. It is likely that the tree already has some unseen damage and the resinaceum is taking advantage of that.

I dunno... havnt seen any resin...
and I cut one up to get inner pieces to agar... no resin

I meant to say artists conk. because of the staining thumb print. it changed the pore surface color...

might be G. tsugae. that grows wild around here also.

In order to test for resin you have to prick the white growing edge.



Sometimes it doesn't happen :shrug: even with the same strain. Ganoderma tsugae will commonly be found on hemlock, occasionally on birch and rarely on maple. Resinaceum will grow on both apparently. To distinguish tsugae from the others examine the internal flesh. Tsugae will have a white flesh with a soft foamlike texture. Resinaceum will have a brown/tan color with tougher more woody/ fibrous texture. Resinaceum can still be pretty flexible though, both species can be fairly soft due to their speedy growth.

Heres an image showing the cross sections of various Ganoderma sp. G.resinaceum is to the left, with cultivated and wild, G.curtisii is in the middle, with Ganoderma tsugae (both wild) on the right.

Also forgot to mention all Ganodermas bruise brown on the underside not just G.applanatum (Artists conk). The artist conk just happens to be hard and resilient so it can survive for a long time, has a large size, small pores and bruises exceptionally dark.

Artists conk internal flesh is similar in color to G.resinaceum but much much tougher. And the outside skin is grey/brown and dull where resinaceum will be red and shiny.

Are you sure about that?  I'm pretty sure I've read otherwise, that it's fairly common for applanatum to fruit on doomed but still living trees.  I've also seen it myself a few times if I remember correctly... :confused:

Ganoderma on trees- differentiation of species and studies of invasiveness.

The study looked at three European Ganodermas and their ability to breach what is known as the R zone, which is apparently an area of antifungal properties that keep fungi from invading the trees. G.adspersum was able to go right through, G.resinaceum was only moderately able to. And G.applanatum was unable to breach the R zone.

There may be an ability to colonize parts of the trees but not cause significant damage, at least that's my understanding of the study. G.applanatum in Europe may also represent a different species than the US variety. I think though that if the tree has already been damaged then the mushroom can make itself at home. I know it is common for Ganodermas to invade a tree via lawn mower damage to the roots.

I think you are right, that is the key.  The tree must have been damaged in some way first.  I think that may have been mentioned in wherever I read about applanatum doing this...
