is a genus of polypore fungi in the family that includes about 80 species, many from tropical regions.
Because of their genetic diversity and use in traditional Asian medicines, they are a genus with possible economic value.
Ganoderma can be differentiated from other polypores because they have a .

Ganoderma are characterized by basidiocarps that are large, perennial, woody brackets also called "CONKS".

The fruit bodies typically grow in a fan-like or hoof-like form on the trunks of living or dead trees.
They have double-walled, truncate spores with yellow to brown ornamented inner layers.

Some Ganoderma species can cause major long-term crop losses, especially with trees:
G. orbiforme (= G. boninense), G. zonatum and G. miniatocinctum are responsible for basal stem rot disease in 🌴 🌴 plantations.
G. philippii and G. pseudoferreum are responsible for the root rot of cacao, coffee, rubber and tea trees.

For centuries, Ganoderma species have been used in traditional medicine in many parts of Asia.
Several species of Ganoderma contain diverse phytochemicals with undefined properties in vivo, such as and , an area of investigation under basic research.
Various Ganoderma species are used in traditional medicine for supposed benefits and have been investigated for their potential effects in humans, there is no evidence from high-quality clinical research that Ganoderma as a whole mushroom or its phytochemicals have any effect in humans, such as in treating cancer.
