Other Identified Special Species of Lingzhi mushroom:(23).Ganoderma flexipes.
Botanical description: Ganoderma flexipes Pat is a fungus of the Ganodermataceae or Polyporaceae family and Ganoderma genus, it is commonly known as Ganoderma flexipes, Curved-stalk Ganoderma, or Wanbing LingZhi. The basidiocarp (fruiting body) is annual, petiolate, suberinite. The pileus (cap) is spatulate or orbicular, 0.6–1.6 × 0.5–1.5 cm, thickness is 0.5–1.3 cm, the surface is russet (reddish-brown), has conspicuous concentric ring grooves, and a lacquer-like luster; the edge is blunt or truncated; the context is dark wood color to pale brown, lay separation is unclear, and sometimes the upper layer is of lighter color, the lower layer is darker color, thickness is 0.1–0.2 cm; the fungus tube is brown, 0.3–0.5 cm long; the pore surface is dirty white to brownish; tube orifice is orbicular, 4–5 per millimeter. The prosthecae is dorsal or dorsiferous, 3–11.5 cm long, thickness is 0.2–0.5 cm, glossy, puce (purple-brown), or atropurpureus (purple-black).
The husk structure is an irregular sporiferous layer type, and compositive hyphae are clavate, the enlarged part of the tip is usually 6–7.5 μm, length is 20–30 μm, and pale brown.
The mycelial system is three-body type: generative hypha is transparent, leptodermous (thin wall), ramificate, 4–5 μm in diameter; skeletal hyphae are fawn color (flavotestaceous), pachypleurous (thick wall) to farctate, arborizations (dendritic branching), skeletal part is 3–4 μm in dry diameter, flagelliform colorless binding hypha is formed at the end tip of branches; binding hypha is colorless, pachypleurous (thick wall), ramificate, 1.0–2.0 μm in diameter.
The basidiospores are oval (egg-shaped), broad-ovate, or truncated at the tip, double wall, the outer wall is colorless and transparent, smooth, the inner wall is pale brown to nearly colorless, spinules are indistinct, or no spinules, 7.5–10.5 × 6.5–7.5 μm.
Ecological Environment: Ganoderma flexipes Pat grows in mountains and forests. This species is mainly distributed in Bawangling, Haikou, Xichou county Xiaoqiaogou, Yunnan, China.
