In this study, a collection of laccate Ganoderma species (subgenus Elfvingia (P. Karst.) Imaz.) were investigated. The specimens were collected from different areas of Iran and were identified based on micro- and macromorphology of fruiting bodies and cultural peculiarities. We found that there are four laccate Ganoderma species, G. lucidum, G. resinaceum, G. tsugae, and G. manoutchehrii, in Iran. Basidiospore germination, cultural, and optimum temperature studies of G. lucidum were investigated and show that cold can stimulate basidiospore germination.
