Nah, dont think so.. looks like mainly pach, maybe bit of scop but I doubt it. New growth on peruvianus always looks different, kinda knotchy as it comes out, not smooth as the photo.

Howdy. Well I can tell you for shure its not Eileen. Mature plant looks totally different. I will go out to the motherplant this weekend and get some pics. If it is a hybrid, which Im sure it is, It leans heavily towards both ends of the spectrum. Any positive essays on Eileen?

Hoi hoi, Well today I was searching for some pereskiopsis cuttings online when I came across this topic being discussed at the aussie Gardenweb site... Supprising how shallow some of these so called "plant lovers" are ... Gardenweb Confiscating and cracking down..... Sad sad sad...

Thats not too good Looks like you have high a high fungal count in your drying area that has caused many types of molds and infections. Recut 10-25mm off, then brush or powder the fresh end with sulphur dust to seal and protect the end. Really have to keep the length dry for at least two weeks for quick and clean callus. All the best... BD.

Im not sure if I should give the establishment's name out in a public form, as I dont want to cause my friend any undue harrasment. Please email me and ill pass her email on. Lets just say its in the southern part of the country. The kind lady was quite standoffish at the start..(Partly cause Im a huge hairy ogre, but mostly cause she's sick of getting asked for mmmmagic mushroom id's) but she soon warmed to me and revealed a few locations. :D

HiAll. I have had extensive discussions with a kind lady from a Botanic Gardens Mycology Curator this season regarding the ganoderma family. She has over 20+ years collecting fungus in Australia and still could not accurately provide a positive ID on a a specific ganoderma. What you have there may be versicolour and it may not be. Colour Depends greatly on wood composition and environmental conditions. You will find that absolute accurate ID of this family can really only be done with DNA sequencing... She was also under the impression that this family has had not where near enough study in the southern hemisphere. Most being Chinese or Japanese. Known strains of this wonderfull fungi (G.Versicolor) are available all over the net, so dont let any mis-ID stop you in chasing this wonder of nature. Ps: If you can locate a copy of Greater and Lesser Fungi of your area, they have quite extensive gamoderma info in there.. albiet old. :D BD.
