AB -Twelve specimens of Ganoderma, subgen. Elfvingia (Karst.) Imazeki were collected from hardwoods at several locations in Taiwan, all specimens were identified as Ganoderma australe (Fr.) Pat. Monokaryotic bodies of the isolate TAI-01. The mating system was determined as heterothallic and tetrapolar. Using cultural studies and compatibility by dikaryon-monokaryon mating reactions, these isolates could be separated into two groups. Isolates of Group 1 (including 7 isolates) had an average growth rate of 6.2 mm/day at its optimum temperature range of 28-32 C. 
The di-mom matings were compatible. Isolates of Group 2 (including 5 isolates from the high altitude collection) had and average growth rate of 4.0 mm/day at its optimum temperature range of 24-28 C. the di-mon matings were incompatible. It is concluded that there are two “intersterility groups” of G. australe in Taiwan.,  
  Four monokaryotic isolates representing the mating types from Taiwanese collection of G. australe TAI-01 were mated with five isolates under the name of G.applanatum (Pers.) Pat. (=G. lipsiense (Batsch) Atk.) obtained from ATCC or CBS. ATCC 32585, isolated from a tropical hardwood in India, was compatible with monokaryotic isolate TAO-01, and had a similar growth temperature requirement than Group 1 of G. australe from Taiwan. The other four isolates of G. lipsiense, ATCC 325846, CBS 175.30, 187.31, 250.61, were incompatible with G. austale TAI-01. ATCC 32585 of G. lipsiense is, thus, probably identical to G. australe.
