Other Identified Special Species of Lingzhi mushroom:(51).Ganoderma australe.
Botanical description: Ganoderma australe (Fr.) Pat is a fungus of the Ganodermataceae or Polyporaceae family and Ganoderma genus, it is commonly known as Ganoderma australe., south artist's conk, or Nanfang Shushe, Lao Mu Jun, etc. The basidiocarp (fruiting body) is annual to perennial, sessile, suberinite to ligneous. The pileus (caps) is semicircle (semicircular), 6.5~13 cm x 4.5~10 cm, about 4 cm thick, the surface is dark brown (black brown) or taupe (dust color), has no lacquer-like luster, has distinct ring edges and annules, sometimes are rimous; edges are blunt, same color as pileus (cap) or sometimes russet (reddish-brown); the context is well-proportioned chocolate brown (tan) or tawny (cinnamomeous), hard, thickness is 1.5–2 cm, and has black chitinous layer (shell layer); the fungus tube is brown to bistre (seal brown), there is no context spacing in fungus tubes of multi-layers, each layer is 5–7 mm long; pore surface is brown or tawny (yellow-brown), sometimes is yellow; tube orifice is slightly circular, 4–5 per mm.
The husk structure is composed of tacky adhesion of transparent leptodermous generative hypha (generative hyphae) and pachypleurous brown skeletal hyphae, the surface is composed of a layer of transparent hyphae, hyphae are uneasy to separate; generative hyphae are 2–3.5 μm in diameter, the tip of some hyphae is clavate; the skeletal hyphae are 4–4.5 μm in diameter; the total thickness is 50–60 μm, firm and hard, similar to interweave husk type.
The mycelial system is a three-body type: generative hyphae are transparent, leptodermous (thin wall), ramificate, has transeptae, 3–6 μm in diameter; skeletal hyphae are hazel (pale brown) to brown, pachypleurous (thick wall) to farctate, have arborizations (dendritic branching) or are acicular, skeletal part is 3–5 μm in dry diameter; flagelliform colorless binding hypha is formed at the end tip of branches; the binding hypha is colorless to slightly tawny (slightly yellow brown), pachypleurous (thick wall) to farctate, branches are nearly orthogonal, 1–2 μm in diameter, similar to bovista type.
The basidiospores are elliptic (elliptical shape), broadly elliptical or the tip is slightly truncated, double wall, the outer wall is colorless and transparent, smooth, spinules on the inner wall are distinct, hazel (pale brown) to brown, 7.5–13 × 5.8–7.7 μm.
Ecological Environment: Ganoderma australe(Fr.) Pat grows in mountains and forests, causing white rot of wood and root rot of trees, leading to the death of host trees. Geographical distribution: This species is mainly distributed in Jiangxi, Sichuan, Yunnan, and Zhejiang, main big islands of China. Worldwide, it is distributed in China. It is also widely distributed in the central to southern areas of Europe, tropical and subtropical Asia, and other countries.
