Stephirino Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 Hiking NW of Atlanta, Georgia and came across several of these on the ground in an area fairly of fairly deep organic matter near conifers. I used the “Seek” app by iNaturalist which identified it several times as Ganoderma curtisii or Golden Reishi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbenn Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 Ganoderma curtisii looks plausible but it should be growing on wood, not on the ground... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted August 29, 2021 Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 G. curtisii can grow for buried roots, which makes it appear to be terrestrial. The one seen here looks like an old G. curtisii polypore than has lost it'd shiny appearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DShroomGuy Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 Wish I still had the pic of a hot pink ganoderma I found years ago in central Florida. Don't no longer use that phone though. Im actually where I found it right now all those years ago at my dad's hunting property. It was definitely a ganoderma of some sort. Did find two this weekend in prime condition. Just regular looking ones though. Gonna use them for our evening teas. Found a bunch of chanterlles too. Wish I had my phone with me yesterday when I was looking around. Lots of lactarius, russula, old man of the woods, what looked like a coral fungus, crazy slimy red and yellow stemmed mushroom, and a bolete of some sort.
