Ganoderma neojaponicum

An East Asian Ganoderma described by Imazeki in 1939 from Japan, where most records come from. It is a laccate, stalked species; beyond regional mycological literature there is little published in English. Conditions here are built from the measured Japanese climate and general reishi-type cultivation.
