Abstract

LOPEZ-PENA, Damian et al. Diversity and distribution of Ganoderma (Polyporales: Ganodermataceae) from Sonora, Mexico. Bot. sci [online]. 2016, vol.94, n.2, pp.431-439. ISSN 2007-4476.  https://doi.org/10.17129/botsci.463.

Seven species of Ganoderma: G. applanatum, G. curtisii, G. lobatum, G oerstedii, G. sessile, G. sessiliforme, and G. weberianum are discussed. Ganoderma lobatum and G. oerstedii are new records for Sonora, while G. sessile and G. weberianum for Mexico. The genus has a wide distribution in Sonora, being found in oak, oak-pine, pine-oak, open oak forests, also in xerophytic vegetation like mesquite scrub. Ganoderma oerstedii was founded on Stenocereus thurberi, being its first record on a living Cactaceae.
