Ganoderma eickeri

A laccate polypore described in 2019 by Tchotet and colleagues in Mycologia, from work on Ganoderma in southern Africa. GBIF holds about 2,500 records worldwide, most from Papua New Guinea, but many are probably sequence-based or uncertain identifications. Nothing is published on its cultivation, so treat it as a typical warm-climate wood-decay Ganoderma.

Where it grows wild

Presumed a wood-decay fungus on living or dead hardwoods, as in the genus; host details were not confirmed from an accessible source.

Few records carry an elevation; the weighted climate sites sit between about 40 m and 470 m.
