Assessment Notes
Taxonomic notes
The glabrous abhymenial surface and variable brown color of the basidiomata are similar to those of Lenzites elegans (Spreng.) Pat., but this species is macroscopically different due to its thicker basidiomata and the lamellate to sinuous hymenial surface (Gomes-Silva et al. 2010, Welti et al. 2012).
