Ganoderma microsporum
Ganoderma microsporum is a species of Ganoderma mushroom native to Taiwan that grows on willow trees. DescriptionGanoderma microsporum has a relatively short or obscure stem that appears bronze or dark purple. The cap is shelf like or unevenly shaped and has a glazed appearance.[1] The spores measure 6–8.5 by 4.5–5 μm, smaller than the spores of all other known types of Ganoderma.[2][3] TaxonomyThe species was first discovered in Taipei, Taiwan by R.-S. Hseu in 1982, and published in the scientific journal Mycotaxon in 1989.[1] The specific epithet microsporum refers to the relatively small size of its spores.[2][3] ResearchCompounds discovered in Ganoderma include polysaccharides, triterpenoids, nucleic acids and fungal immunomodulatory proteins or FIPs.[4] According to the NIH PubMed database on the physiological activities of G. microsporum, primarily from the FIP found in G. microsporum (FIP-gmi or GMI), currently known physiological activities include effects on the central nervous system and the respiratory system.[5][6] References
