ABSTRACT: Using a strain determined by Singer 37 years ago as Pleurotus lindquistii, fruitbodies were obtained using traditional methods for edible mushroom culture. The new basidiomata allowed us to redescribe the species and to transfer it to Lentinus. Mating studies between monosporic cultures revealed a tetrapolar mating system. Descriptions of cultural characters and Nobles' code are given.
