The neotropical species Lentinula boryana (= L. cubensis) is the type species. However, the best-known species is L. edodes , the shiitake . The genus was erected by Franklin Sumner Earle in 1909, [ 2 ] and as of 2023 contains ten species, [ 3 ] principally found in tropical regions.
Lentinula lateritia is a species of agaric fungus in the family Omphalotaceae. It is found in South-east Asia and Australasia, except for New Zealand. [ 3 ] Originally described by Miles Joseph Berkeley in 1881 as a species of Agaricus , [ 4 ] it was transferred to the genus Lentinula in 1983 by David Pegler .
The shiitake (/ ʃ ɪ ˈ t ɑː k eɪ, ˌ ʃ iː ɪ-,-k i /; [1] Japanese: [ɕiꜜːtake] ⓘ Chinese/black mushroom or Lentinula edodes) is a macrofungus native to East Asia, which is cultivated and consumed around the globe.
Lentinula boryana is a species of edible [1] agaric fungus in the family Omphalotaceae that is found in subtropical Americas. Originally described as Agaricus boryanus by Miles Joseph Berkeley & Camille Montagne in 1849, it was moved to the genus Lentinula and given its current name by David Pegler in 1976.
Lentinula raphanica is a species of edible [2] agaric fungus in the family Omphalotaceae. Described as two species, Armillaria raphanica and Gymnopus alliaceus by William Alphonso Murrill in 1943, they have been moved to a single species of the genus Lentinula by Ron Petersen and J.L. Mata in 2001.
Lentinula novae-zelandiae, also known as New Zealand shiitake, is a species of edible saprobic fungus endemic to New Zealand. Phylogenetic research suggests this species forms a monophyletic clade of Laurasian origins. [1] It can be cultivated, with cultures and grow kits available commercially in New Zealand. [2]
Lentinula reticeps is a species of agaric fungus in the family Omphalotaceae. It was originally described as Agaricus reticeps by French mycologist Camille Montagne in 1856. [ 3 ] William Alphonso Murrill transferred it to the genus Lentinula in 1915.
Lentinula madagasikarensis is a species of edible [1] agaric fungus in the family Marasmiaceae that is found in Madagascar. It was described by Buyck, Randrianjohany & Looney in 2021. It is "strikingly" similar to the shiitake mushroom in appearance, but phylogenetic research shows its closest relative is Costa Rican Lentinula aciculospora .
