Abstract The records of seven taxa recognisable as belonging
to the genus Lentinellus in New Zealand are examined and their current
status assessed. Two species, Lentinellus crawfordii G.Stev. and
L. ursinus (Fr.) Kühner (syn. Lentinus novae-zelandiae
Berk.) are accepted, and two, L. cremeus G.Stev. and Lentinus
zelandicus Sacc. & Cub., are excluded. Lentinus hepatotrichus
Berk. and L. hyracinus Kalchbr. are confirmed as synonyms of
Lentinellus ursinus. Lentinellus hepatotrichus (Berk.) Reid is a
superfluous name since its basionym is a synonym of L. ursinus
(Fr.) Kühner. Both L. hepatotrichus sensu Reid and L. hyracinus
sensu G.Stev. are shown to be synonyms of Lentinellus pulvinulus
(Berk.) Pegler, which is recorded for the first time for New Zealand. A new
species with conspicuous bristles on the stipe and chlamydospores on the pileus
margin, L. marginatus, is proposed. All four accepted species are
described in full.
