[4] Though phylogenetic analysis has begun to better differentiate between many closely related species of Ganoderma; [5] there is still disagreement as to which have the most medicinal properties.
Panels are made slightly smaller than the available space within the frame to provide room for movement. Wood will expand and contract across the grain, and a wide panel made of solid wood could change width by a half of an inch, warping the door frame. By allowing the wood panel to float, it can expand and contract without damaging the door.
The distribution of T. mertensiana stretches from Kenai Peninsula, Alaska, to northern Tulare County, California.
