No description available.
Lentinus substrictus is a tough, leathery mushroom with a funnel-shaped to flat cap bearing decurrent gills, found on dead and decaying wood of tropical and subtropical trees. It causes white rot and contributes to wood decomposition in warm, humid forest ecosystems. This species is of interest for its ligninolytic enzyme production, which has applications in bioremediation research.
