Building fungi identification key for the main fungi of the ganodermataceae (donk) donk. in Son Tra, Danang city

Abstract

The Ganodermataceae garners considerable attention owing to its medicinal properties and ecological significance. Although numerous authors have focused on studying the Ganodermataceae in Central Vietnam, specific research on the Son Tra in Danang City still needs to be conducted. This study collected from various locations across the Son Tra. Subsequently, prompt processing and microscopic analysis of morphological and structural features were conducted. Based on these analyses, an identification key was developed to classify the mushrooms at the genus and species levels. The identification process revealed 38 species belonging to the Ganodermataceae, encompassing three genera (Ganoderma, Amauroderma, and Haddowia). Among them, the genus Ganoderma exhibited the highest species richness with 29 identified species, followed by Amauroderma with 8 species, and Haddowia with 1 species. Furthermore, the authors described certain biological characteristics of the common species and compared the diversity of Ganodermataceae in Vietnam and neighboring regions.
