title: [Macroscopic and Microscopic Identification of Ganoderma and The Confusable Medicinal Mushrooms of "Zhi"].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To compare the macroscopic and microscopic characteristics of Ganoderma and the confusable medicinal mushrooms of "Zhi".
  
  
  METHODS
  The methods of macroscopic and microscopic examination were employed to authenticate Ganoderma and the other medicinal mushrooms of "Zhi" in the fungal group.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The medicinal mushroom named "Zhi" could be distinguished from each other by the shape of pileus, stipe and the characteristics of mycelium and spore.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  There are abundant resources of fungal group from Ganodermataceae in China. The medicinal mushrooms of "Zhi", which are quite complicated in the market, are needed to be differentiated.
