So, i need your opinion. Do you agree with Ganoderma boninense?
Agree with RandyL on being a Ganoderma spp. Not familar with ones outside the USA though.
Many of the Ganoderma are very similar - but the coloring and the hardwood preference makes me lean towards lucidum as well.
Beautiful ones there, perfect time to harvest for teas/extracts!
I'm actually not sure as to which species would occupy a coconut stump, I assume lucidum.
