Ganoderma atkinsonii, a species parallel to G. lucidum, occurs in Czechoslovakia chiefly in mountains in beech-fir forests on Abies alba and descends with this host tree also to lower altitudes. In lowlands and hilly countries it also occurs secondarily on other conifers and even rarely on broad-leaved trees in parks, gardens and along roads. Hitherto it has been known from 73 localities in Czechoslovakia.
