Description
Neolentinus is a family of fungi so named because their fertile surface takes the form of a layer of tubes, the mouths of which can be seen as 'pores' underneath the cap or shelf of the fungus. This family of fungi was named and described in 1838 by Elias Magnus, although August Corda beat him to the publication of this name.
