Ganoderma resinaceum Boud.Lacquered Bracket, DE: Harziger LackporlingSlo.: smolena poloenkaDat.: Aug. 23. 2015Lat.: 46.36092 Long.: 13.70162Code: Bot_908/2015_DSC8633Habitat: Alpine pasture; moderately incline mountain slope; southeast aspect; calcareous, stony, colluvial ground; shallow soil layer; full sun, dry and relatively warm place; exposed to direct rain; average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 7-9 deg C, elevation 625 m (2.050 feet), alpine phytogeographical region.Substratum: at the base of dead stump of a stand alone, cut down, mostly decorticated Ostrya carpinifolia.Place: Lower Trenta valley, between villages Soa and Trenta, right bank of river Soa, 'Na melu' place, near Trenta 2b cottage, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC.Comments: According to keys of genus Ganoderma published in Ryvarden (2014) and Bernicchia (2005) this find fits well to Ganoderma resinaceum. It has distinctly stipitate pileus, continuous, partly shiny and reddish-brown (not dark brown and dull as with Ganoderma applanatum and Ganoderma australe) resinous crust, which first melts and then burns with a yellow flame when heated at the tip of a knife in the flame of a match and a darker line in context just above tube layer. However, some traits not mentioned in the keys pose problems. The context color doesn't seem to correspond well to the descriptions in Ryvarden (2014) and Krieglsteiner (2000) ('pale grayish-brown') and Bernicchia (2005) ('brown, red-brown'). The find was found on dead stump of Ostrya carpinifolia (host species not listed as a possible substrate in the literature available to me) while Ganoderma resinaceum is known from live deciduous trees. Measured spores are slightly too long and too wide in average compared to most published data (the only exception is Ref.: 4). Their width fits better to similar Ganoderma pfeifferi, which is apparently always sessile and never stipitate. Measured spore dimensions actually fit perfectly to Ganoderma carnosum, which is, however, know only from conifers. Also the habitat of the find seems strange. Ganoderma resinaceum is usually found in parks, roadsides, seldom in woods. All this makes my determination uncertain to some extent.Growing solitary; pileus dimensions 10 x 8 cm; oozing reddish droplets when cut, pore layer bruising brown when handled; trama fibrous-corky and very firm, difficult to cut even with a ceramic knife; taste bitter, smell distinctive, pleasant, a kind of mushroomy; SP faint, possibly brown. Spores brown, rough, thick (double) walled. Dimensions: 11.4 [12.2 ; 12.6] 13.5 x 6.9 [7.5 ; 7.8] 8.5 microns; Q = 1.4 [1.6 ; 1.7] 1.8; N = 30; C = 95%; Me = 12.4 x 7.7 microns; Qe = 1.6.

A hard and shiny (but annual) conk of western North America. It may be the same species as G. tsugae.

There are two species of Amauroderma known to be in Queensland - A. rude and A. rugosum. According to Cunningham, A. rude has the much larger pores of the two. This particular fungus had very coarse-looking pores, so it's a good bet that it's Amauroderma rude.In this photo, which is looking down at the top of the typically very dark-coloured cap, you can see how the fungus has grown around a stick and a bracken stem. Photo taken by my husband, Chris Ryan.

This particular fungus had very large and coarse-looking pores, so it's a good bet that it's Amauroderma rude.You can see the white pores in this photo. You can also see how the cap of the fungus has grown around a stick and some bracken stems. The black, central stipe of the fungus is only just visible.

Photographed in Mt Field National Park, along the Russell and Horseshoe Falls track. Photo by my husband, Chris Ryan.From the shape and texture of the cap, I think this could be an Amauroderma rude. BTW, does anyone know what the white tendrils are? They were, in some places, draping over everything. I think they might have something to do with Mycena species?
