Wang, D.-M., X.-Q. Zhang & Y.-J. Yao. Type studies of some Ganoderma species from China. Mycotaxon 93: 61-70. 2005.

ABSTRACT: Results from the study of the types of Ganoderma microsporum and G. formosanum reveal that they are synonyms of G. weberianum and G. sinense respectively. The description of G. shangsiense is extended to cover a wider range of basidiospore size based on study of the type and other collections. Full descriptions of G. weberianum and G. sinense are also provided and the nomenclature of a recently proposed new species, G. guangxiicum, is discussed.
