Lentinus strigosus is a species of fungus in the family Polyporaceae. It is edible when young, but becomes very tough with age.[2]
Taxonomy
The species was first described by Lewis David de Schweinitz in 1822 as Agaricus strigosus.[3]
Description
The expanded cap is semi-vase-shaped with an inrolled edge, usually purple then fading to brownish. The flesh is white, thin, and tough. The gills are close, narrow, and cap-coloured then whitish. The stipe is short, lateral and hairy. The taste is often bitter. The spores are white and smooth.[4]
Similar species
Phyllotopsis nidulans is similar, but is orange-yellow and has a poor odour.[4]
