Other Identified Special Species of Lingzhi mushroom:(35).Ganoderma fornicatum.
Botanical description: Ganoderma fornicatum (Fr.) Pat is a fungus of the Ganodermataceae or Polyporaceae family and Ganoderma genus, it is commonly known as Ganoderma fornicatum., Arciform Ganoderma, Vaulted Ganoderma, or Gong Zhuang LingZhi (means arciform Ganoderma or vaulted Ganoderma). The basidiocarp (fruiting body) is annual, petiolate, suberinite to ligneous. The pileus (cap) is slightly round or nearly reniform, 1.5–5 × 1.2–8 cm, the surface is puce (purple-brown) to bistre (dark brown), or atropurpureus (purple-black) to black, slightly glossy, with distinct annules; the edge is blunt; the context is brown, 4–8 mm thick; the fungus tube is the same color as the context (brown), length is 0.4–0.5 cm; pore surface is brown to bistre; tube orifice is slightly circular, 4–6 per mm. The prosthecae is dorsiferous, length is 1.5–3.5 cm, 0.7–1.5 cm in diameter, and is the same color as the pileus (cap), glossy.
The husk structure is irregular sporiferous layer type, hazel (pale brown) to brown, compositive hyphae are clavate, the tip is enlarged or slightly split, usually, width is 4.0–5.5 μm, and the length is 25–35 μm.
The mycelial system is three-body type: generative hypha is colorless and transparent, leptodermous (thin wall), 3–4 μm in diameter; skeletal hyphae are hazel (pale brown) to brown, pachypleurous (thick-walled) to farctate, have arborizations (dendritic branching), skeletal part is 3–5 μm in dry diameter; flagelliform colorless binding hypha is formed at the end tip of branches; binding hypha is colorless, pachypleurous (thick wall), ramificated, 1–2 μm in diameter.
The basidiospores are oval (egg-shaped) or nearly elliptic, double wall, the outer wall is colorless and transparent, smooth, the inner wall has spinules, or spinules are indistinct, 8.7–10.4 × 5.2–7 μm.
Ecological Environment: Ganoderma fornicatum (Fr.) Pat grows in mountains and forests. Geographical distribution: This species is mainly distributed in China provinces Limushan Mountain, Jianfengling Mountain in Hainan province. Worldwide, it is distributed in China, Southeast Asian countries, Australia, Sri Lanka, Brazil, and the famous producing area is Guyana.
