Abstract Ganoderma is a diverse and globally-distributed genus of the family Ganodermataceae that includes many medicinally important species. Besides, they also cause white rot on a variety of tree species and this has economic implications for the timber production industry. In the past century, many species of Ganoderma have been reported from different regions of the world including India. G. meredithiae is a medicinally important mushroom that was for the first time described in the USA. This paper presents the first morphological, anatomical, and molecular (ITS-rDNA) description of Ganoderma meredithiae in India.
