Lentinus substrictus es un hongo de aspecto duro y coriáceo con sombrero de forma embudo a plano y láminas decurrentes, hallado sobre madera muerta y en descomposición de árboles tropicales y subtropicales. Provoca putrefacción blanca y contribuye a la descomposición de la madera en ecosistemas forestales cálidos y húmedos. Esta especie es de interés por su producción de enzimas ligninolíticas con aplicaciones en investigaciones de biorremediación.
