Bayoufrogg Posted February 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 Thanks. I should have been more specific in asking. Interested if anyone has an idea of species shown here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 For quite some time, this type had been known by the name Ganoderma lucidum. But this species is now believed to have a much more restricted distribution than previously believed. Worldwide, there are several new species names for the hardwood-associating "Varnished Ganoderma" polypores. Here in PA we have G. curtisii and G. sessile. The ones seen here don't look like either of these two. However, the link below contains a photo/info that appears to suggest the ones seen in this post represent G. curtisii. http://forestpathology.cfans.umn.edu/pdf/Ganoderma of southeastern US extension bulletin.pdf Note that the pores surface on the "double-capped" mushroom seen in the photographs beginning this discussion are covered with green mold. These are not suitable for making Reishi. I'm guessing the other one seen is also quite old, as the cap surface isn't very shiny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
