Abstract

Ganoderma gibbosum is a new record for Pakistan, identified by morphological and molecular data. DNA sequence analysis of ribosomal 5.8S rRNA gene including the flanking nuclear ribosomal DNA-ITS regions confirmed the Pakistani specimens as G. gibbosum. Morphologically, the specimens are characterized by their non-laccate sessile basidiomata, truncate, short fine minute inter walled pillars, elongated basidiospores (7.5– 10.2 × 4.6–5.9 μm), and greyish to greyish-brown dull pileal surface.
