Other Identified Special Species of Lingzhi mushroom:(33).Ganoderma crebrostriatum.
Botanical description: Ganoderma crebrostriatum Zhao et Xu is a fungus of the Ganodermataceae or Polyporaceae family and Ganoderma genus, it is commonly known as Ganoderma crebrostriatum.J.D.Zhao et L.W.Hsu., Dense Lines Ganoderma, or Mi Wen LingZhi. The basidiocarp (fruiting body) is annual, petiolate, suberinite to ligneous. The pileus (cap) is orbicular (nearly circular) or semicircle (semicircular), 6.5 × 7.2 cm, thickness is 3–5 mm, the surface is smooth, the central part is dust-color (darkish brown) to black, gradually turns brown and hazel (pale brown) towards the edge, has a lacquer-like luster, and dense concentric rings; the edge is entire, blunt, and the under surface is infertile. The context is well-proportioned dust-color (darkish brown) to brown cinnamomeous, 2–4 mm thick. The fungus tube is hazel (pale brown), length is 1–2 mm; the pore surface is faint yellow or butter yellow; the tube orifice is orbicular (nearly round), 5–6 per millimeter. The prosthecae is dorsiferous (tergiferous), diameters are nonuniform, about 7 cm long, 1–3 cm in diameter, black, and has a lacquer-like luster.
The husk structure is irregular tissue, hazel (pale brown) to brown, compositive hyphae are arranged nearly parallel, the tip is slightly pointed sometimes, some are split, different in shapes, nonuniform in height, usually width is 2–5 μm, and length is 25–30 μm.
The mycelial system is a three-body type: generative hypha is colorless and transparent, leptodermous (thin wall), easily broken, 4.5–5.2 μm in diameter, flagelliform colorless binding hypha could be formed at the end tip; skeletal hyphae are hazel (pale brown), pachypleurous (thick-walled) to farctate, have arborizations (dendritic branching) or are acicular, skeletal part is 4–5 μm in dry diameter; flagelliform color binding hypha is formed at the end tip of branches, or turns to leptodermous generative hypha; binding hypha is colorless to slightly flavotestaceous (fawn color), pachypleurous (thick wall), 1.5–2 μm in diameter.
The basidiospores are oval (egg-shaped) or long oval, 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 has no spinules, 7.4–10.9 × 5.2–7 μm.
Ecological Environment: Ganoderma crebrostriatum Zhao et Xu grows in mountains and forests. Geographical distribution: This species is mainly distributed in Limushan Mountain, Huanan Rezuosuo of Hainan province. Worldwide, it is distributed in China.
