Could you tell what kind of wood it was on, and did you collect it?

I did collect it and it wasn't on any wood that I could see.  It was a single specimen poking up through some moss.  I found it and then within a couple hundred yards I did find stump full of tsugae.  Collected this one as well.  It was the best looking one, most looked rotted and/or maybe from last year.


This is the same spot I got that huge 9" conk that you used in your guide (I think I may have sent a plate too).  This one tops out at 12".

:thumbup: I think that it is tsugae, sometimes they can have a small thin stipe like that.

The stipe is what threw me off.  It didn't look quite orange/yellow enough to be curtisii though.

Curtisii does sometimes mature entirely red, it seems that curtisii is one of the more variable Ganodermas. I sent a bunch with various traits off to be sequenced and I was sure there was going to be some variation in the sequences that came back but they all came back to be perfect matches.

I also think I sent your culture to be sequenced as well, it of course matches G.tsugae. Very helpful because I don't have many tsugae sequences to play with.

I had one labeled conk and one labelled antler, do you recall if I sent the antler culture?  If I can get some clean cultures of these I'll :pm: you and get them headed your way if you'd like.

Good question, I do recall now. I think it was the antler culture you sent me. Have you tried fruiting it? I think I tried and it failed. Species in the G.tsugae complex seem difficult.

Not yet.  I've got a few plates of it sitting in a cabinet somewhere.  One looked like it might have had little blobs trying to form last time I looked at it.  I packed everything up a few months back in preparation for a new baby.  Just started back up last week.  Got some grain bags of wine cap going.  Have several ganodermas I want to try out next but I really need to unpack and set the lab space back up.

Little blobs sounds promising! Sometimes they try to fruit on agar, I even had one fruit on liquid culture.

Once I get the hood set back up I'll get a better look.  Right now they're in a ziploc bag to help keep the parafilm/agar from drying out so it's hard to really see.  If they do look like reishi blobs I'll try to transfer them to fresh plates and then use those to incoulate some grain.
