There are about 250 kinds of Fungus of the Ganoderma genus, in China, there are almost 98~100 species of fungus found to belong to the 4 Ganoderma genera, and Ganodermataceae family, they grow and spread from south to north.
Botanical description: Ganoderma hainanense Zhao, Xu et Zhang is a fungus of the Ganodermataceae or Polyporaceae family and Ganoderma genus, it is commonly known as Hainan Ganoderma, or Hainan LingZhi. The encarpium (fruiting body) is annual or perennial, petiolate, suberinite. The pileus (cap) is semicircle (semicircular), orbicular or subreniform, flat or nearly U-shaped (horseshoe-shaped), 1.5–5.5 × 1.5–4.5 cm, thickness is 1–2.2 cm; its surface is reddish-brown to dark brown, purple to purple-brown, has lacquer-like luster, with conspicuous concentric ring grooves, radial wrinkles are inconspicuous; the edge is blunt or truncated, intact; the stratification of context is not conspicuous, the upper layer is wood color, brown or light brown, the part close to the tube is brown, thickness is 0.1–0.2 cm; fungus tube is 0.3–2 cm long, stratification is not conspicuous, brown; tube orifice is fouling, light brown or brown; tube orifice is orbicular or circular (rounded), 4–6 per mm. The prosthecae are dorsiferous or dorsolateral, cylindrical, their thickness varies, sometimes bead-like, length is 4–15 cm, thickness is 0.3–1 cm, the same color as the pileus (cap) or darker.
The husk structure is a sporiferous layer type, hazel (pale brown) to brown, compositive hyphae are clavate, the apical enlarged part is 4.5-7 μm wide, 20-30 μm long, and sometimes compositive hyphae are shorter.
The mycelial system is three-body type: generative hypha are transparent, leptodermous (thin wall), and have a transeptae, 3–4.5 μm in diameter; skeletal hyphae are hazel (pale brown), pachypleurous (thick-walled) to farctate, dendritic branching, skeletal part is 2.5–4.5 μm in dry diameter, flagelliform colorless binding hypha is formed at the end tip of branches; binding hypha is colorless, pachypleurous (thick wall), ramificate, 1.5-2 μm in diameter.
The basidiospores are oval (egg-shaped) or their tips are slightly truncated, double wall, the outer wall is colorless, transparent, and smooth, and the inner wall is hazel (pale brown) to brown, spinules are conspicuous, 8.7–11 × 5.2–6.9 μm.
Ecological Environment: Ganoderma hainanense Zhao,Xu et Zhang grows in larch trunk bases. This species is mainly distributed in Lanxi, Zhejiang, Lingshan in Guangxi, Ba Wang Ling, Limushan, Jianfeng Ling in Hainan, Mengla, and Xichou in Yunnan, China.
