Botanical description: Ganoderma theaecolum J. D. Zhao is a fungus of the Ganodermataceae or Polyporaceae family and Ganoderma genus, it is commonly known as Ganoderma theaecolum, Tea-stalk Ganoderma, or Cha Bing LingZhi, basidiocarp (fruiting body) is annual, sessile or shortly stipitate, suberinite to ligneous.

The husk structure is irregular sporiferous layer type, fawn color (flavotestaceous), compositive hyphae are clavate, the enlarged part of the tip is 5–7 μm wide, and length is 25–30 μm, easy to separate from context.
The mycelial system is three-body type: generative hypha is colorless and transparent, leptodermous (thin wall), 3–4 μm in diameter; skeletal hyphae are fawn color (flavotestaceous) to sandy beige (light brown), pachypleurous (thick-walled) to farctate, has arborizations (dendritic branching), skeletal part is 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), and is ramificate, curved, 1–2 μm in diameter.
The basidiospores are rare and exiguous, oval (egg-shaped) or the top end is truncated, double wall, the outer wall is colorless and transparent, smooth, the inner wall is fawn color (flavotestaceous), and has sparse spinules or spinules are indistinct, 7–9 × 5.2–6.2 μm.
