Ganoderma ahmadii

Ganoderma ahmadii is a bracket fungus described by Steyaert in 1972 from Sialkot in the Punjab plains of Pakistan, and later confirmed from Sichuan in China. It has a reddish-brown cap and a grey to pale brown pore surface. Records sit in a hot, semi-arid monsoon climate, so it is one of the more heat-tolerant Ganoderma.
