Fungi Basidiomycetes (Spore dropping fungi) Polyporales |
| Ganoderma sp. | |
| Family: Ganodermataceae | |
| Near Lawers, Loch Tay. Growing on a very old, and not quite dead, Rowan. Jerry Ross provided the species ID - I had got as far as the genus (and not too sure of myself at that…) But Neil Mahler ((neilmahler)) says: It is not possible to correctly ID a Ganoderma australe from applanatum by appearances alone, nor indeed by the presence of any nipple galls (which do occur on both - confirmed during BMS foray to Suffolk 2009) A vertical section must be cut out and scrutinised or else simply check the spore size under a microscope. In general, G. applanatum tend to be thinner, but it can be the other way around with australe being thinner. |
