Phylogenetic analysis of Ganodermahas begun to better differentiate between many closely related species of Ganoderma; Hemlock Varnish Shelf (Ganoderma tsugae) is the local variety of Reishi for eastern United States. It is common on Hemlock trees throughout the Appalachian range. Ganoderma lucidum is found on hardwood stumps and logs (very rarely on conifers), and has brownish flesh. Ganoderma oregonense is a conifer lover of the Pacific Northwest and New Mexico; it has larger spores and a much larger fruiting body (up to one meter across!). Spore Print: Brown.
Variations of Ganoderma within the same species as well as the growth substrate and environmental conditions all the way through to preparation of the Ganoderma tea or extract can have a substantial effect on the medicinal value of the product. A 1995 DNA study of Ganoderma (Moncalvo, Wang & Hseu) found that worldwide collections of Ganoderma tsugae may not be genetically compatible. Like G. lucidum, G. tsugae is said to have medicinal properties.

Ecology: Saprobic on decaying conifer logs and stumps (especially hemlock wood); growing alone or in groups; annual; producing "a soft wet whitish or straw-colored cellulose-destroying decay of the wood" when young, and later a "network of cracks filled with white mycelium" with "numerous black dots throughout the wood" widely distributed in North America. Variations of Ganoderma within the same species as well as the growth substrate and environmental conditions all the way through to preparation of the Ganoderma tea or extract can have a substantial effect on the medicinal value of the product.
Flesh: Whitish; fairly soft when young, but soon tough. Flesh: Whitish; fairly soft when young, but soon tough. A "wound area covered by SACCHACHITIN completely healed by 21 days, while that covered with cotton gauze did not." In the case of extracting the polysaccharides in Ganoderma tsugae, a hot water extraction or tea can be very effective; however, to best extract the triterpenoids present in G. tsugae it is best to use an alcohol or alcohol/glycerin extraction method.
