“…Though the ITS gene can perform species division in the genus Ganoderma [ 20 , 21 ] and is the most abundant gene region in Ganodermataceae [ 45 ], depending on a single gene does not address all the problems in the classification of Ganoderma . For the complex groups in Ganoderma or the higher rank classification of Ganodermataceae , multigene phylogenetic analyses are essential [ 22 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 ].…”

The widely cultivated Chinese Lingzhi is a famous fungus with significant medicinal and economic value, which has commonly been misidentified as Ganoderma lucidum for a long period of time. The scientific binomial of the fungus is always a hotly debated question that revolves around G. lingzhi and G. sichuanense. To interpret the species concept of the taxon, six specific primers for G. sichuanense and one universal primerwere designed. Through directed and nested PCRs, we obtained nine ITS sequences from the holotype (HMAS 42798) of G. sichuanense. By genome sequencing, the ITS sequence of the first cultivated Lingzhi (HMAS 25103) was assembled. Based on a phylogenetic study of the genus Ganoderma, the correct name for widely cultivated Ganoderma species in China was confirmed as G. sichuanense, and G. lingzhi should be a later synonym.

“…In addition, a sampling frequency of 100 generations was performed in the test. The burn-in fraction was set to 0.25 and posterior probabilities (PP) were determined from the remaining trees ( He et al, 2022 ). The consensus trees were plotted using FigTree v. 1.4.4 ( http://tree.bio.ed.ac.uk/software/figtree ; Rambaut, 2018 ) and edited using Adobe Illustrator CS 6.0 ( Figure 1 ).…”

IntroductionSpecies of Melanconiella include a diverse array of plant pathogens as well as endophytic fungi. Members of this genus have been frequently collected from the family Betulaceae (birches) in Europe and North America. Little, however, if known concerning the distribution of Melanconiella and/or their potential as pathogens of other plant hosts.MethodsFungi were noted and isolated from diseased leaves of Loropetalum chinense (Chinese fringe flower) and Camellia sinensis (tea) in Fujian Province, China. Genomic DNA was extracted from fungal isolates and the nucleotide sequences of four loci were determined and sued to construct phylogenetic trees. Morphological characteristics of fungal structures were determined via microscopic analyses.ResultsFour strains and two new species of Melanconiella were isolated from infected leaves of L. chinense and C. sinensis in Fujian Province, China. Based on morphology and a multi-gene phylogeny of the internal transcribed spacer regions with the intervening 5.8S nrRNA gene (ITS), the 28S large subunit of nuclear ribosomal RNA (LSU), the second largest subunit of RNA polymerase II (RPB2), and the translation elongation factor 1-α gene (TEF1-α), Melanconiellaloropetali sp. nov. and Melanconiellacamelliae sp. nov. were identified and described herein. Detailed descriptions, illustrations, and a key to the known species of Melanconiella are provided.DiscussionThese data identify new species of Melanconiella, expanding the potential range and distribution of these dark septate fungi. The developed keys provide a reference source for further characterization of these fungi.

(Mawar et al 2020;He et al 2022), Mangifera indica (Foroutan and Jafary, 2007), Edy et al (2022) reported Persea americana to be a host tree to Ganoderma species. Persea americana, Albizia adianthifolia, and Mangifera indica were this study's most susceptible host trees.…”

Ganoderma P. Karst. is a pathogen that causes root and stem rot in trees, ultimately leading to their death. It can be used to treat various conditions of human diseases. This fungal species often grows on economically significant trees. Its morphological' diversity and host range need to be better understood due to their similarity in morphological resemblance. This research aims to identify the phenotypic diversity of Ganoderma species and their host trees. Opportunistic sampling was used to collect samples from nine villages in Mezam Division, Northwest Region of Cameroon. Morphological identification of Ganoderma species was done based on morphological characters such as colour, length, and width, laccate or non-laccate, the type of basidiocarp, margin shape, microscopical structures, and hyphae. The morphological characters of basidiocarps collected from different host trees revealed eleven distinct Ganoderma species, including Ganoderma applanatum, G. australe, G. brownii, G. cupreum, G. gibbosum, G. lucidum, G. multipileum, G. multiplicatum, G. orbiforme, G. resinaceum and G. weberianum. This study identified nine host tree species. Ganoderma resinaceum was host specific to Elaeis guineensis. G. cupreum on Ficus sp., and Persea americana, and G. orbiforme on Cola acuminata. G. multiplicatum, G. lucidum, G. gibbosum, and G. applanatum had multiple hosts. Ganoderma typically grows on dead tree stumps based on host preferences. However, three species were collected from living trees; one on Albizia adianthifolia and two on Persea americana, confirming their nature as saprophytes and plant pathogens.
