Lentinus is a genus of fungi in the family Polyporaceae. The genus is widely distributed, with many species found in subtropical regions.[3]

The genus name Lentinus is derived from the Latin lent, meaning "pliable", and inus, meaning "resembling".

Species

Lentinus berteroi
Lentinus squarrosulus
Lentinus swartzii

As of July 2017, Index Fungorum accepts 120 species of Lentinus.[4] The genus includes:

Some molecular studies showed that some Polyporus species belong to the Lentinus-radiation.[7]
