How should I dry my beautiful Ganoderma tsugaeI just found a conifer with 6 lovely little Ganoderma tsugae (hemlock varnish shelf) mushrooms on it. As this is a type of reishi mushroom and therefore contains immensely powerful medicinal properties, I would like to dry them to make tea. How should I go about this? I was thinking i would cut them into strips, dry them on a screen, and then suspend them on some wire above a desiccant, similar to how the cultivated P. cubensis are dried in this forum. Does this sound like the proper way to dry them? ... ... continue Observation: Ganoderma tsugae Murrill (45766)Collection location: Oneida Co., New York, USA ... ... continue Ganoderma curtisii (Berk.)

Tom Volk's Fungus of the Month for March 2005Ganoderma lucidum, Reishi or Ling Zhi, a fungus used in oriental medicine by Kathleen Engelbrecht and Tom Volk First, how do you identify Ganoderma lucidum? Ganoderma is a member of the Polypores, a group of fungi characterized by the presence of pores, instead of gills on the underside of the fruiting body. G. lucidum, considered by many mycophiles to be one of the most beautiful shelf fungi, it is distinguished by its varnished, red surface. When it is young it also has white and yellow shades on the varnished surface, differing from the dull surface of Ganoderma applanatum, the artist's conk. G. lucidum is a saprophytic fungus that tends to grow more prolifically in warm climates on decaying hardwood logs and stumps. This feature helps to distinguish it from a similar looking Ganoderma tsugae, which also has a beautiful red varnished surface, but only grows on the stumps and logs of conifers, especially hemlock (as you might guess from the name). Another distinguishing characteristic is the flesh of G. tsugae is white whereas the flesh of G. lucidum is brown. Besides the shelf form, both G. tsugae and G. lucidum can be stalked. The spore prints of both species are brown and the spores are very similar in size and shape ... ... continue Ganoderma Tsugae GalleryA Maine and New England Edible and Medicinal Mushroom Resource ... continue Ganoderma in the EOLGanoderma photos in the Encyclopedia of Life. ... continue
Ganoderma tsugae by Mushroomexpert.comThis mushroom is closely related to Ganoderma lucidum and is virtually indistinguishable from that species. However, Ganoderma tsugae is partial to conifers--especially hemlock. Additionally, it has whitish, rather than brownish flesh. Otherwise it is recognized, like Ganoderma lucidum, by its varnished, reddish cap and stem. Ganoderma lucidum is found on hardwood stumps and logs (very rarely on conifers), and has brownish flesh. Ganoderma oregonense is a conifer lover of the Pacific Northwest and New Mexico; it has larger spores (10-16 x 7.5-9 µ) and a much larger fruiting body (up to one meter across!) ... ... continue  GanodermaGanoderma lucidum (Curt.: Fr.)

The hard waxy crust has a knobbly surface, and the flesh is dark reddish-brown, with a fibrous texture. Spores are released from pores located on the underside of the fungus. The pores are initially white, but become brownish as they age. This species releases massive amounts of brown spores, which collect on other fruit bodies and on the trunk of the host tree. This often gives the impression that the area has been liberally sprinkled with cocoa powder. An unusual form of this fungus occurs fairly frequently, in which layers of whitish flesh occur throughout the fruit body. Patterns scratched into these white layers are permanent, and this practice explains the common name of this species, 'artist's fungus' ... ... continue Ganoderma applanatumHere is a picture of Ganoderma Applanatum ... ... continue Ganoderma applanatumMore pictures about Ganoderma Applanatumról on BioLib
