Ganoderma angustisporum

A shelf-like lacquered Ganoderma described in 2018 (MycoKeys) and named for its narrow spores. It forms sessile, reddish-brown to dark brown brackets up to 13.5 cm across with a white pore surface, and has been collected on living Casuarina equisetifolia in Guangdong, China. GBIF records span tropical Asia, Australia and Christmas Island.
