A reply: "Thanks for the mail. Yes it is ganoderma only. But is it lucidum? There are more than 140 varieties in lucidum complex. This specimen even if you take morphological appearance, the stipe is not well defined as that of lucidum. Mainly you have to take the microscopic characters such as spores size shape, cystidia,. and basidia and the context morphology. Finally the molecular taxonomy will confirm how much they are similar to original lucidum. Go ahead and look for these and then come to the conclusion since it is medicinally used and contiunuously exploited we need the authentication from every angle. >From your photograph it looks as it is growing on dead coconut tree stump. Usually Ganaoderma is the common pathogen reported on the coconut. With regards Kavi"
