Ganoderma amazonense

A tropical American polypore described by Weir in 1926 during a survey of diseases of the Para rubber tree in the Amazon. GBIF records span Costa Rica, Colombia, Brazil and Central Africa at low elevation. It is linked to trees in lowland rainforest and plantations, so keep cultures away from living trees.
