The fungus was noted to be very aggressive and had killed relatively young almond trees in some orchards.\u00a0 Consequently, CDFA will collect official samples of the fungus for analysis at the CDFA Plant Pathology Laboratory, and for official record.\u00a0 <em>Ganoderma adspersum<\/em> has not been reported earlier from California or North America (Rizzo, 2017a).\u00a0 The potential risk of infestation of <em>G. adspersum<\/em> is assessed here and a permanent rating is proposed for the species.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>History &amp; Status:<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><strong><u>Background<\/u><\/strong>: \u00a0\u00a0<em>Ganoderma adspersum<\/em> is a wood-decaying fungus that occurs in a very wide range of tree species including deciduous trees and conifers throughout the world. The species has more frequently been detected in trees growing near human habitations, gardens, parks, and planted sites (Papp &amp; Szabo, 2013; De Simone &amp; Annesi, 2012).\u00a0 \u00a0<em>Ganoderma adspersum<\/em> is a pathogen of roots and butts of living trees causing white rot, and can continue to grow saprophytically on nonliving tissue such as, stumps of felled trees (De Simone &amp; Annesi, 2012). \u00a0<em>Ganoderma<\/em> species often kill their hosts and frequently, a diseased tree breaks or is wind-thrown while still alive as a result of decay in the butt and base of the trunk (Sinclair &amp; Lyon, 2005). Unlike other closely related species, <em>G. adspersum<\/em> is an aggressive species that is able to penetrate and break through intact reaction zones of infected wood causing progressive and extensive decay over a relatively short period of time (De Simone &amp; Annesi, 2012). \u00a0\u00a0In Italy, <em>G. adspersum-<\/em>infected pine stands were felled within two years of infection (De Simone &amp; Annesi, 2012).<\/p>\n<p><em>Ganoderma adspersum<\/em> has been known by several names.\u00a0 The fungus was originally found growing on <em>Carpinus betulus<\/em> (European hornbeam) in Croatia, and published by Schulzer 1878 as <em>Polyporus adspersus<\/em>, and later as <em>P. linhartii <\/em>Kalchbr. 1884, <em>Ganoderma linhartii<\/em> (Kalchbr.) Z. Igm\u00e1ndy 1968, and <em>G. europaeum<\/em> Steyaert 1961.\u00a0 After studying all specimens under the different species names, in 1969, Donk concluded the correct name for the fungus, <em>G. adspersum<\/em> (Tortic, 1971). In European polypore monographs, <em>G. adspersum <\/em>was found under the name, <em>G. australe<\/em> (Fr.) Pat. 1889.\u00a0 However, through molecular analysis, the European taxon (<em>G. adspersum<\/em>) was differentiated from the Australian taxon (<em>G. australe<\/em>). \u00a0<em>Ganoderma adspersum<\/em> is the name of the European species (Papp &amp; Szab\u00f3, 2013).\u00a0 Differentiation of species of <em>Ganoderma<\/em> is confusing and problematic with only seven species, including <em>G. adspersum<\/em>, being accepted in the European polypore monographs (Papp &amp; Szab\u00f3, 2013).\u00a0 Taxonomically, <em>G. adspersum<\/em> is a distinct species belonging to the <em>G. applanatum \u2013 australe<\/em> complex (Papp &amp; Szab\u00f3, 2013).<\/p>\n<p>The species was first reported from Europe and is primarily found in that continent. However, it has also been found in Argentina, Brazil, American Samoa, and recently in the USA (California) (<em>see<\/em>: \u2018Worldwide Distribution\u2019).<\/p>\n<p>In California, <em>Ganoderma adspersum<\/em> was detected in nine and ten year old almond orchards trees in Kings County during surveys of almonds for wood decay fungi in February 2016 (Rizzo, 2017a)\u00a0 Over a three-year period, the orchard had experienced almost 20% tree loss, resulting in its removal by the end of 2016.\u00a0 This detection marked a first for the fungus in California and North America.\u00a0 Another detection was made in August 2016, in a twelve-year old almond orchard in Fresno County, and in 2017, additional infections were detected in Tulare, Kern, and Madera Counties (Rizzo, 2017b). \u00a0Presently, in California, the fungus has been found only in almond, prune and peach. All surveyed almond trees were planted on peach rootstock (Rizzo, 2017b).<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Disease development<\/u>:<\/strong>\u00a0 Generally, most infections are initiated by airborne basidiospores that enter wounds on roots and trunk bases.\u00a0 Basidiocarps (fruiting bodies or conks containing numerous spore producing structures or basidia) usually grow from the vicinity of old wounds.\u00a0 Basidiospores are produced in great numbers during evening hours when the air is humid.\u00a0 Experimentally, infection by root contact with previously colonized wood is also possible, although tree-to-tree spread has not been indicated by field observations (Sinclair &amp; Lyon, 2005).<\/p>\n<p><em>Dispersal and spread:<\/em> Primarily by airborne basidiospores (De Simone &amp; Annesi, 2012).<\/p>\n<p><em>Hosts:<\/em> <em>Abies<\/em> sp.
