Other Identified Special Species of Lingzhi mushroom:(32).Ganoderma cochlear.
Botanical description: Ganoderma cochlear (Blume et Nees) Bres is a fungus of the Ganodermataceae or Polyporaceae family and Ganoderma genus, it is commonly known as Ganoderma cochlear., Purple Back Stipe Ganoderma, or Bei Bing Zi LingZhi. The basidiocarp (fruiting body) is annual or perennial, petiolate, suberinite to ligneous. The pileus (cap) is orbicular (nearly circular) or circular (rounded), 6–9 × 8–10 cm, 1.5 cm thick, the surface is atropurpureus (purple black) to black, has lacquer-like luster, often has radial wrinkles and inconspicuous concentric ribs; the edge is blunt or truncated; the context is dark coffee color (dark brown), up to 1 cm thick; the fungus tube is 3–5 mm long, similar to the color of the context; pore surface is nearly white or yellowish; tube orifice is round or orbicular, wall of the tube is thick, 4–5 per mm (millimeter). The prosthecae are dorsiferous (tergiferous), some are stubby, length is 4–5 cm, diameter is 1–2 cm, and some are up to 20 cm long, the central part is flat, width is up to 4.5 cm, the same color as the pileus (cap), glossy, and the junction with the substrate is mostly swollen and forms a bigger base.
The husk structure is irregular sporiferous layer type, hazel (pale brown) to brown, compositive hyphae are clavate, the enlarged part of the tip is 4.5–7.0 μm wide, and length is 20–30 μm.
The mycelial system is three-body type: generative hypha is transparent, leptodermous (thin wall), 3–5 μm in diameter; skeletal hyphae are hazel (pale brown) to brown, pachypleurous (thick-walled) to farctate, have arborizations (dendritic branching) or acicular, skeletal part is 3–5 μm in dry diameter; flagelliform color binding hypha is formed at the end tip of branches; binding hypha is colorless, pachypleurous (thick wall), 1–2 μm in diameter.
The basidiospores are oval (egg-shaped), sometimes the apex is slightly truncated, double wall, the outer wall is colorless and transparent, smooth, the inner wall is hazel (pale brown) to brown, and the inner wall has spinules or no spinules, 10.5–12 × 6.5–7.5 μm.
Ecological Environment: Ganoderma cochlear (Blume et Nees) Bres grows in mountains and forest. Geographical distribution: This species is mainly distributed in Guangxi, Xichou of Yunnan, China, and Java. Worldwide, it is distributed in China, Java.
