Identification and classification of ganoderma species from selected areas in Sarawak

Ganoderma genus is fungi that belonged to family of Ganodennataceae of Agaricomycetes and well known as one ofthe major pathogen to plants including oil palm. However, only few studies have been done on the systematic classification of this genus in Malaysia. In the present study, eight species of G...
