Lentinellus is a 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 fruitbody are in part amyloid, and frequently the taste of the mushrooms is acrid (burning, spicy). Closely allied genera are "Auriscalpium" and "Dentipratulum", with "Artomyces" slightly more distantly related.
