TL;DR
The Ganoderma species, which causes extensive wood delignification in the Chilean rain forest and was formerly identified as G. applanatum, showed a fatty acid pattern similar to that found in European G. australe.
Abstract
Over 75 % of the free fatty acids in Ganoderma fruit-bodies are 18-carbon unsaturated acids. Whereas the percentages of oleic and linoleic acid found in Ganoderma australe were similar, the latter acid was more abundant in G. applanatum. The Ganoderma species, which causes extensive wood delignification in the Chilean rain forest and was formerly identified as G. applanatum, showed a fatty acid pattern similar to that found in European G. australe.
