Ganoderma lucidum, commonly known as the reishi, varnished conk, or ling chih,[2] is a red-colored species of Ganoderma with a limited distribution in Europe and parts of China, where it grows on decaying hardwood trees.[3] Wild populations have been found in the United States in California and Utah but were likely introduced anthropogenically and naturalized.[1]
