Ganoderma gibbosum

A Ganoderma named by Blume and Nees from Java and moved to Ganoderma by Patouillard in 1897; the name is widely applied to woody brackets in tropical and subtropical Asia. GBIF's largest record set is Australian soil DNA samples, which do not show where fruit bodies grow, so conditions here follow the Asian range and the genus.

Where it grows wild

On trunks and stumps of hardwoods in tropical and subtropical forest, parks and plantations in Asia; the Australian records are environmental DNA from soil.

Recorded elevations run 20–2,490 m, median about 520 m (79 records), many of them soil samples.
