== Description ==

''Ganoderma'' are characterized by [[basidiocarp]]s that are large, perennial, woody brackets also called "[[conk (fungus)|conk]]s". They are [[Wood-decay fungus|lignicolous]] and [[coriaceous|leathery]] either with or without a stem. The fruit bodies typically grow in a fan-like or hoof-like form on the trunks of living or dead trees. They have double-walled, truncate [[spore]]s with yellow to brown ornamented inner layers.
