Immature fruiting bodies of a probable Ganoderma cf. lucidum (Reishi group) were documented in situ from fissures of Phulai (Acacia modesta) trees opposite Lakhwal Waterfall, Chakwal, Punjab, Pakistan (16 August 2025).

This observation highlights a new habitat association of laccate Ganodermataceae in semi-arid lowland Pakistan.

🧠 Significance
While Ganoderma tsugae is newly reported from Punjab (Saeedullah et al. 2024, J. Plantarum 6:130-146), this field note suggests possible extension of the G. lucidum complex into the Acacia belt. Molecular confirmation is pending.
