Ganoderma gibbosum is a type of shelf fungus known for its woody growths that typically adhere to tree trunks. It has a distinctive appearance with a varnished texture on its cap. These mushrooms grow in a tiered fashion and have pores on the underside rather than gills. Ganoderma gibbosum is found mainly on hardwood trees in forested regions and plays a role in breaking down dead wood, contributing to the ecosystem's nutrient cycle.
