Ganoderma
    #23886003 - 12/01/16 09:53 PM (7 years, 1 month ago)

Spent my day off looking for Ganoderma, a genus I've never intentially hunted for until recently. Since there aren't very many documented finds in my area, I don't have a lot to go on. I didn't find anything for a couple of hours.
After a while I found some Ganoderma brownii followed by G. applanatum on bay and oak. I've yet to find any Ganoderma growing on a healthy tree. Towards the end of the day, I wandered into a shaded redwood/hardwood basin. There were a few fairy rings where massive redwoods once stood and I instantly felt like I had stumbled upon a vastly ancient place. Maybe 100 feet up the canyon, was the coolest house pit I've ever seen. Someone had stacked large, heavy boulders in a 15' diameter circle. They built a really neat stairway with boulders and stones. From the location, type, and proximity to a confluence, this was probably constructed by the native people to this area(Mi-wuk or Ohlone). There was Quartz and a small hammerstone on the floor of the house pit! I was astonished to find an old oak tree that was long dead and host to four old and long gone Ganoderma oregonense. It was exactly what I intended to find although I think I'm way too late to find them in good condition. There season is probably august/september. Unfortunately my camera/phone died early in the day and I was unable to take photos of the housesit or large fruitings of G. applanatum. Another great day in the woods.

Is it the first one you are calling G.brownii? Can you cut it in half? I agree the middle ones are G.applanatum s.l. Cool:thumbup:

The one in the first photo is G. Oregonense I'm pretty sure although it's very old and kinda hard to tell. The shape seemed right and I could see faint red closer to the substrate. I didn't collect the brownii. They were large. Next time I'll take photos.
The pores became seperated when I collected the specimen so that's why the cross section looks like it's missing something.
