Lingzhi, Ganoderma sichuanense, also known as reishi or Ganoderma lingzhi [3] is a polypore fungus ("bracket fungus") native to East Asia belonging to the genus Ganoderma.. Its reddish brown, varnished, kidney-shaped cap with bands and peripherally inserted stem give it a distinct fan-like appearance.
The fruiting body almost always has a stipe present, which is tawny to russet colored and 1.5 times the diameter of the cap. Context tissue (sterile tissue inside the fruiting body between the pileus crust and the initiation of the tubes) is pink-buff to cinnamon-buff and corky, showing concentric growth zones and no resinous or melanoid deposits.
Ganoderma sinense - Also known as black reishi or zizhi. Ganoderma tsugae - A polypore which grows on conifers , especially hemlock , giving it its common name, hemlock varnish shelf . Similar in appearance to Ganoderma lucidum and a close relative, which typically grows on hardwoods .
The sporocarp (also known as fruiting body, fruit body or fruitbody) of fungi is a multicellular structure on which spore-producing structures, such as basidia or asci, are borne. The fruitbody is part of the sexual phase of a fungal life cycle , [ 1 ] while the rest of the life cycle is characterized by vegetative mycelial growth and asexual ...
A mushroom or toadstool is the fleshy, spore-bearing fruiting body of a fungus, typically produced above ground, on soil, or on its food source. Toadstool generally denotes one poisonous to humans. [ 1 ]
The largest identified fungal fruit body in the world is a specimen of Phellinus ellipsoideus (formerly Fomitiporia ellipsoidea). The species was discovered in 2008 by Bao-Kai Cui and Yu-Cheng Dai in Fujian Province, China. In 2011, the two of them published details of extremely large fruit body of the species that they had found on Hainan ...
The relatively large fruiting body of many slime mold s (Myxomycetes). From Gr. aíthalos, soot. [12] agaric An agaric, with gills on the underside of the pileus A member of the order Agaricales; a mushroom or toadstool. Contains many iconic and highly studied fungi.
Ganoderma sessile was distinguished based on a sessile fruiting habit, common on hardwood substrates and occasionally having a reduced, eccentric or "wanting" stipe. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] In 1908, Atkinson considered G. tsugae and G. sessile as synonyms of G. lucidum, but erected the species G. subperforatum from a single collection in Ohio on the basis ...
