[Macroscopic and Microscopic Identification of Ganoderma and The Confusable Medicinal Mushrooms of "Zhi"]
Objective:
To compare the macroscopic and microscopic characteristics of Ganoderma and the confusable medicinal mushrooms of "Zhi".
Methods:
The methods of macroscopic and microscopic examination were employed to authenticate Ganoderma and the other medicinal mushrooms of "Zhi" in the fungal group.
Results:
The medicinal mushroom named "Zhi" could be distinguished from each other by the shape of pileus, stipe and the characteristics of mycelium and spore.
Conclusion:
There are abundant resources of fungal group from Ganodermataceae in China. The medicinal mushrooms of "Zhi", which are quite complicated in the market, are needed to be differentiated.
