Abstract: A wild macrofungus collected from a camphor tree in Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province, was used as the experimental material. It was identified through a comprehensive approach involving morphological observation and ITS (Internal transcribed spacer) sequence analysis, and its biological characteristics were determined, along with trials on artificial domestication and cultivation. The results indicated that this wild fungus was Ganoderma gibbosum, with its hyphae exhibiting distinct clamp connections. The optimum temperature for hyphal growth was 30 ℃, and the optimal pH was 6. Among the tested cultivation formulas, the one consisting of 50% sawdust, 38% cottonseed hulls, 10% wheat bran, 1% gypsum, and 1% lime (Formula 1) resulted in the fastest hyphal growth, the most vigorous growth, and successful production of fruiting bodies.

Key words: Ganoderma gibbosum, biological characteristics, molecular identification, ITS, artificial cultivation
