Golden Reishi

Ganoderma curtisii

''Ganoderma curtisii'' is a wood-decaying polypore whose distribution is primarily in the Southeastern United States. Craig and Levetin claim to have observed it in Oklahoma.

Appearance

This polypore bears a marked resemblance to ''G. lucidum'' and generally has a stipe, sometimes lacking the characteristic red to purple varnished appearance that ''G. lucidum'' possesses. The flesh is spongy in pore tissue and firm in the stipe. The pores bruise brown when damaged.

Its habitat of choice is decaying stumps and roots of hardwoods, which aligns perfectly with that of ''G. sessile''.
