Ganoderma gilletii

A Ganoderma described by Steyaert in 1962 from old collections in DR Congo, made between 1907 and 1931 at Moanda on the coast, Tshikuliba, and between Irumu and Mambasa in Ituri. Nothing is published on its host, so conditions come from the one measured site and the genus.

Where it grows wild

Collections come from very different settings: coastal Moanda and the Ituri rainforest. The substrate was not recorded.

Moanda is near sea level; Ituri sites are around 700–1,000 m.
