Lentinellus
Sign in to saveLentinellus is a genus of white rot, wood decay, lamellate agaric in the family Auriscalpiaceae, further characterized in part by rough-walled, amyloid spores produced on lamellae with jagged edges. Typically, thick-walled hyphae in the fruit body are in part amyloid, and frequently the taste of the mushrooms is acrid (burning, spicy). The widespread genus has been estimated to contain 15 species. Mycologists Ronald Petersen and Karen Hughes considered 24 species in their 2004 world monograph of the genus.

Die Zählinge (Lentinellus) sind eine Pilzgattung innerhalb der Familie der Ohrlöffelstachelingsverwandten (Auriscalpiaceae). Die Blätterpilze haben nabelig-lappige, zähfleischig bis lederartige und langlebige Fruchtkörper, die einzeln oder büschelig wachsen. Die weißcreme- bis fleischfarbenen Lamellen haben gesägte bis gekerbtrandige Schneiden. Der Stiel steht zentral, exzentrisch oder seitlich. Die Pilze haben amyloide, rau oder feinwarzig ornamentierte Sporen und Gleozystiden. Die saprobiotischen Pilze wachsen auf Holz oder toten Wurzeln. Lentinellus cochleatus (Pers.: Fr.) P.Karst., der Anis-Zähling, ist die Typusart der Gattung.

Lentinellus is a genus of white rot, wood decay, lamellate agaric in the family Auriscalpiaceae, further characterized in part by rough-walled, amyloid spores produced on lamellae with jagged edges. Typically, thick-walled hyphae in the fruit body are in part amyloid, and frequently the taste of the mushrooms is acrid (burning, spicy). The widespread genus has been estimated to contain 15 species. Mycologists Ronald Petersen and Karen Hughes considered 24 species in their 2004 world monograph of the genus.
==Classification and naming== The name Lentinellus is the diminutive of Lentinus, which is the generic name for another group of wood-decay fungi with rough lamellar edges. The type species and the best-known is L. cochleatus, which was classified under Lentinus by Persoon in 1825. Later it was realized that the species now in Lentinellus are very different in other characteristics from the other Lentinus species, and in modern taxonomy the groups are put into different orders (Lentinus is in Polyporales whereas Lentinellus is in Russulales).
