Notes

The type collection from Australia (Richmond River, NSW, F. von Mueller, K, labelled "11, specimen authenticum. Omnino Lentinus ursinus Fr., Australia (indecipherable word) Kalchbrenner" was regarded by Pilat (1941), Pegler (1965), and Miller & Stewart (1971) as being synonymous with Lentinellus ursinus. However, Stevenson's description of L. hyracinus sensu Stevenson from New Zealand does not fit that of L. ursinus and this will be discussed below.
