Other Identified Special Species of Lingzhi mushroom:(21).Ganoderma curtisii.
Botanical description: Ganoderma curtisii (Berk.) Murrill is a fungus of the Ganodermataceae or Polyporaceae family and Ganoderma genus, it is commonly known as Ganoderma curtisii, Weak-Lustre Ganoderma, or Ruo Guang Ze LingZhi, basidiocarp (fruiting body) is annual, petiolate, suberinite. The pileus (cap) is reniform, semicircle (semicircular), fan-shaped, mytiliform to irregular shape, size is 3.5–17 × 3–25 cm, 1–2.5 cm thick, the surface is yellowish brown, dirty russet (dirty reddish-brown), dirty puce (purple brown), has inconspicuous ring pattern, vertical wrinkles are conspicuous, with weak lacquer-like luster, smooth or uneven (sags and crests), sometimes is covered with brown spore powder; the edge is blunt or slightly truncated, the lower border has wider infertile band; the upper layer of context is wood color, the part near to fungus tube is pale brown to brown, 0.2–1.3 cm thick, firm and hard, has black chitinous layer (shell layer); the fungus tube is 0.3–1 cm long, pale brown; the tube surface is dirty white to dirty yellow or pale brown; the tube orifice is orbicular, 4–6 per mm. The prosthecae is lateral, subcylindrical (nearly cylindrical), mostly curved, 2–19 cm long, 0.4–1.3 cm in diameter, sometimes flat, width is up to 1.8 cm when it is flat, from prunus (violet red) to puce (purple brown); and it has a lacquer-like luster.
The husk structure is a typical sporiferous layer type, and pale brown to brown, compositive hyphae are clavate, the enlarged tip is usually 6–7.5 μm wide, length is 20–30 μm.
The mycelial system is a three-body type: generative hypha is transparent, leptodermous (thin wall), has septa, 3.5–5 μm in diameter; skeletal hyphae are pale brown or subdiaphanous (nearly colorless), pachypleurous (thick wall) to farctate, arborizations (dendritic branching), skeletal part is 3–5.5 μm in dry diameter, flagelliform colorless binding hypha is formed at the tip of branches, binding hypha is colorless, pachypleurous (thick wall), ramificate, 1.0–2.0 μm in diameter.
The basidiospores are oval (egg-shaped) or truncated at the tip, double wall, the outer wall is colorless and transparent, smooth, the inner wall is pale brown to brown, the inner wall has spinules, sometimes spinules are inconspicuous, 8.5–11.3 × 5.2–7 (–7.5) μm.
Ecological Environment: Ganoderma tsugae Murr grows in decaying stumps and roots of hardwoods, in mountains and forests. This species is distributed in Neiqiu, Lishui of Hebei, Guangfeng of Jiangxi, Hunan, Bawangling of Hainan, Muli of Sichuan, Dehong of Yunnan provinces, China. This species is also distributed in the Southeastern areas of the USA (the United States of America).
