ABSTRACT
Ganoderma is the genus from order Aphyllophorales with more than 466 species. The type species is Ganoderma
lucidum (Curtis) P. Karst. Only 15 valid species were reported from India till 2014 but the recent survey shows more than
47 species from India.
Keywords: Aphyllophorales, Ganodermataceae, Western Ghats

INTRODUCTION Australian species using Cellulose acetate gel

Ganoderma is largest genus in order
Aphyllophorales with more than 466 species.
(Mycobank, 2015) It is known to cause root or butt rot of
the hardwood trees, and also known as medicinally
important mushroom in the Asian continent. Karsten
in1881 established the genus Ganoderma with the type
species G. lucidum and number of species has been
described in the genus thereafter. The genus Ganoderma
was divided in two sub-genus, Ganoderma and Elfvingia
by Karsten in 1889 (Steyaert, 1980). The sub-genus
Elfvingia was based on the name Boletus applanatus and
the section was dedicated to the species with non-laccate
pileated fruit body. Different taxonomic characters were
used for identification by various authors, namely Murill
(1902, 1903), Atkinson (1908), Coleman (1927), Corner
(1947).
Steyaert (1972, 1980) worked extensively on the
genus from nearly each continent of the world. He
created many new species or transferred many names to
this genus and also removed several synonyms.
Ryvarden (1995) questioned the morphology of
Ganoderma. He studied 53 specimens of G. lucidum
from Norway for the morphological variations. Ryvarden
(1995) concluded that 1-2 collections are insufficient to
describe a species unless there are striking microscopic
characters coupled with distinct macro-morphological
features. Gottlieb and Wright (1999a; b) carried out their
studies using the macro and micromorphology, of the
subgenus Ganoderma and Elfvingia respectively.
Recently, modern methods like isoenzyme
analysis were used for phylogenetic studies. Park et. al.
(1994), Gottlieb, Saidman & Wright (1995, 1998), and
Gottlieb and Wright (1999a) used this technique to
discrete the species of Ganoderma. Smith and
Sivasithamparam (2000) studied isoenzymes of five
electrophoresis (CAGE) and Polyacrylamide gel
electrophoresis (PAGE). Moncalvo, Wang & Hseu (1995
a, b) and Moncalvo et. al., (1995c) used ribosomal DNA
sequencing as tool for analyzing phylogenetic
relationship in Ganoderma lucidum complex. Hseu et.
al., (1996) used RAPD – Polymerase chain reaction
(PCR) and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences to
differentiate the isolates of G. lucidum complex.
Moncalvo and Ryvarden (1997) published a world list of
Ganoderma species. The study considered the species
described in last 200 years listing 386 names for
Ganodermataceae as whole. There are 322 species listed
in the CABI Bioscience Fungal names database. The
database of Stalpers and Stegehuis available on CBS
Website lists 316 names in Ganoderma.In India, Bakshi
(1971) contributed to the study of this genus, describing
five species. Bilgrami et. al. (1991), recorded seven
species of Ganoderma in list, ‘Fungi of India’. Whereas
some species are reported in different databases /
checklists of various states,
http://thallsvr.tn.nic.in/envis/CheckListFungi.htm;www.pu
njabenvironment.com/bd_list.htm). The western Ghat’s is
very rich in fungal diversity; many species can be
collected in the proper season. The recent literature
survey showed that there are more than 466 species
records from world (Mycobank, 2015) and 47 are there
from India has been done with the help of data available
in Indian Aphyllofungal database i.e. IAD database from
the website www.fungifromindia.com, 2012.
