Ganoderma tsugae var jannieae

New species discovered Wasser et al. (2006) published a study focused on the examination and comparison of wild growing samples of Ganoderma sp. from China, a fungus of the genus Ganoderma, which has very important medicinal properties as a producer of hundreds of biologically active substances. A new variety given the name Ganoderma tsugae var. jannieae was described as new for science, revealed in natural collections from China. The name is given in honour of Dr Jannie Tay, who has been most interested in the study of this very important medicinal species and for directing our attention to studying this very important taxon of genus Ganoderma from China.
