Did I just find Reishi?? G. lucidum
    #23689172 - 09/29/16 02:22 AM (7 years, 3 months ago)

So the rains haven't stopped and decided to go mushroom hunting. I found this Ganoderma sp at the base of a quercus ilex, the tree is alive and the mushroom was growing at the base. It seems to be zoned, with a reddish varnish like cap, soft, corky, white pore surface staining a dull-brownish color

Can someone confirm if this is Ganoderma lucidum? This was my first guess but I am not well versed. If not G. lucidum then which Ganoderma did I find?

MLT, Europe

G. lucidum sounds like a good match given the location and host tree.

My guess based on morphology is Ganoderma resinaceum sensu stricto. G.lucidum usually has a stem. You can confirm by having a look at the spores.





Ganoderma lucidum has the rough, "speckled" spore on the left.While G.resinaceum has the smooth spore on the right. Both spores are technically speckled, but G.resinaceum has smaller and more numerous speckles.

I had read that G. lucidum does not always have a stalk or stem coming out and sometimes it can form small over lapping semi circles. G. resinaceum has been a popular opinion but I am not sure the color seems off from other G. resinaceums I had found

I wish I had a microscope, that would have definitely given a confirm ID

I still have the specimen if anyone from Europe would like a sample and confirm it for me?

G.lucidum overwhelmingly has a stem, it is of course possible for it to grow without a stem, but it is not that common. There is a simple field test you can do, but the mushroom has to still be attached to the tree and have its white growth margin. G.resinaceum and its close relatives often bleed a yellow resin when cut or otherwise damaged, most reliably from the white growth margin. G.lucidum never bleeds this resin. It may take some time after stabbing the mushroom to see the resin form.








The color is highly variable in Ganoderma, some species such as the American G.curtisii range from White through various shades of yellows and oranges sometimes maturing to a deep red, sometimes not, often but not always with shades of blue or purple.  The internal flesh may be of help, though the difference between G.lucidum and G.resinaceum flesh is subtle. G.lucidum will be a lighter shade of brown.

Unfortunately I think this specimen was a little too old to release any resinous material and the outer white margin looked way gone. I broke some pieces off while touching it and spent about a good 30mins trying to photograph it (it was at night and I'm a nub when it comes to photography) and no resin came out. This was while it was still attached to a tree

Most G. resinaceum that I find often resemble this type of coloring
http://mushroomobserver.org/238192?q=2qJeG

However there were other younger looking specimens a little far off from this tree that looked like G. resinaceum, at least thats what I IDed them as

Not on my usual computer right now but I'll post some photos

Thank you very much for the information and teachings btw :shineon:

I really appreciate the help!

I think it's the same mushroom as the one above, younger version and different but same type of tree. I have a dried up piece that I had gotten from this tree a couple of weeks ago. I'll take a picture and post it

Ganoderma applanatum is a non laccate species, that is it lacks the lacquer that gives most Ganoderma their shine. It is also grey instead of red.

This is the species I was talking about. It was a couple of feet away from the OP, same situation, growing at the base of a Quercus ilex

Fresh specimen
