pores are crushed, a browning reaction occurs, thus allowing the artist to sketch an image.

The Panacea Polypore
Taxonomic Synonyms & Considerations: Ganoderma lucidurn is the type mushroom, the pivotal species
around around which the genus concept is centered. Ganoderma lucidum grows on oaks, and other
hardwoods whereas two close relatives, G. tsugae and G. oregonense, grow primarily on conifers. G.
tsugae grows on hemlocks, as its name implies, while in the southwest of North America, this species has
been reported on white fir, Abies concolor In culture, G. luciduin and G. tsugae develop long stems in response
to manipulation of the environment. G. oregonense can be found on a variety of dead or dying
conifers, including Tsuga. Knowing how
mutable the fomiation of the stalk is under different cultural conditions,
and that Ganoderma lucidurn readily fruits on a variety of conifer and hardwood sawdust mixtures,
delineation of these individuals based solely on habitat seems highly suspect.
