My first time growing Ganoderma lucidum

I normally grow things like pioppino, lions mane and oysters, this is my first time growing a polypore. It took a long time, many months haha. I think this was inoculated back in november and I just got around to fruiting a few weeks ago. Lots of spore samples to put under the microscope, let me tell you.
Huh, looks very similar to ganoderma tsugae
They look almost identical to each other but I believe G. tsugae tends to favour conifer, I grew this on hardwood.
Okay. You are correct, tsugae prefers hemlock and will grow on other conifers.
