Ganoderma lucidum is cultivated using extensive cultivation systems adapted the traditional growing methods developed in Japan and China. The aim of this study was to identify G. lucidum in Turkey by the nucleotide sequences of ITS-5.8S regions of rDNA to establish the basic taxonomy of the isolate. The strains of G. lucidum were obtained from oak trees in Balcali Adana, Turkey. This research also focuses on indoor techniques, which permit better environmental control for the isolate. The genomic DNA obtained yielded the expected PCR products. The 5.8S sequences of Basidiomycete isolate was absolutely identical (100%) to G. lucidum.
