Lenzites Fr. 1836

Description

Pileus corky, coriaceous, growing horizontally, sessile and attached by a broad base behind; gills coriaceous, elastic, radiating from the point of attachment of the pileus, edge sharp, entire; spores white.

Allied to Trametes and Daedalea, but differs in the gills remaining free from each other, and not anastomosing or connected by transverse bars to form elongated pores. Lentines differs in the serrated margin of the gills. Growing on wood.
