Other Identified Special Species of Lingzhi mushroom:(25).Ganoderma ramosissimum.
Botanical description: Ganoderma ramosissimum J.D.Zhao is a fungus of the Ganodermataceae or Polyporaceae family and Ganoderma genus, it is commonly known as Multi-branched Ganoderma, or Duo Fen Zhi LingZhi. The basidiocarp (fruiting body) is annual or perennial, petiolate, suberinite. The pileus (cap) is fan-shaped or in irregular shapes, sometimes several pilei (caps) are connected, 3–3.5 × 1–3 cm, thickness is 0.5–1 cm, the surface is light brown, brown or puce (purple-brown), smooth, with a lacquer-like luster, concentric annules are inconspicuous; edge is fawn colour (flavotestaceous), blunt, lower edge is sterile; the context is whitish to wood color or slightly brownish, not turn black when it meets KOH aqueous solution; the fungus tube is 2–4 mm long. The pore surface is hazel (pale brown) or fuscid (dirty brown); the tube orifice is slightly circular, 4–5 per mm. The prosthecae is pleurogenous (grows laterally), has a strong lacquer-like luster, length is up to 19 cm, and generally, the thickness is 0.5–1 cm, slightly flattened at the part toward the upper part, dichotomously branched (bifurcation), trifurcation or is irregularly ramificate, uneven width is uneven, and sometimes the thickness is up to 2 cm, often has infertile branches, the tip of the branches have a pileus (cap) or has no pileus.
The husk structure is a typical sporiferous layer type, hazel (pale brown), compositive hyphae are clavate, the tip is enlarged or nearly not enlarged, usually width is 5–7 μm, length is 20–25 μm, sometimes shorter.
The mycelial system is three-body type: generative hypha is transparent, leptodermous (thin wall), 2–3 μm in diameter; skeletal hyphae are colorless to slightly brownish, pachypleurous (thick-walled) to farctate, have arborizations (dendritic branching), skeletal part is 3–4.5 μm in dry diameter, flagelliform colorless binding hypha is formed at the end tip of branches; binding hypha is colorless, pachypleurous (thick wall), is ramificate, 1.5–2.0 μm in diameter.
The basidiospores are elliptic or broadly elliptical, double wall, the outer wall is colorless and transparent, smooth, the inner wall has spinules, sometimes spinules are indistinct, hazel (pale brown), 9–11 × 5.3–6.0 μm.
Ecological Environment: Ganoderma ramosissimum J.D.Zhao grows in mountains and forests. This species is mainly distributed in Xishuangbanna of Yunnan, and the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, China.
