What you are showing is not Ganoderma. That is not to say that you don't have it though. It looks like your royal had a severe Manganese deficiency which was partially corrected.

It looks like what you need is more water, and more fertilizer. Go get a good quality palm fert, something like 8-2-12. Then get some sulpomag 0-0-21 and a 2lb bag of Manganese sulfate. Soak your soil around your palm, put a sprinkler on it and put a good 2" of irrigation down (measure by placing a 2" deep cake pan there). The next day, broadcast in a donut shaped pattern around the palm (1 foot out to about 10' or 12') 5lbs of the palm fert, 5 lbs of the 0-0-21 and 2lbs of the manganese. Then water that in with a good half inch or so. Repeat the palm fert and 0-0-21 in July and October.

So many species,

so little time.
