Lentinellus micheneri is a species of wood-inhabiting fungus in the family Auriscalpiaceae. It was first described in 1853 by mycologist Miles Berkeley and Moses Ashley Curtis as Lentinus micheneri.[2] David Pegler transferred it to the genus Lentinellus in 1983.[3]
The pale tan caps are roundish, centrally depressed, and 5–30 millimetres (1⁄4–1+1⁄4 in) wide. The stems are 1–3 mm (1⁄16–1⁄8 in).[4]
it may resemble other species of Lentinellus, especially L. subaustralis, for which microscopy is required to reliably distinguish. It may also resemble Neolentinus kauffmanii.[4]
Like all species in its genus, L. micheneri is inedible.[5]
