Lentinus crinitus is a basidiomycete in Agaricomycotina. It is in the order Polyporales and in the family Polyporaceae, whithin the group Polyporellus. There are many synonyms including Agaricus essequeboensis, Lentinus chaetoloma, Lentinus essequeboensis, Lentinus microloma, Lentinus rigidulus, Lentinus subcervinus, Curtis, Lentinus wrightii, Panus crinitus, Panus wrightii, Polyporus phyllostipes, and Agaricus crinitus. The common name is The Fringed Sawgill.[2]

This fungus was first described by Carl Linnaeus, reported and identified by Elias Magnus Fries in 1825.

The closest relative is to L. crinitus is Lentinus swartzii and the closest genus is Polyporus with Ganoderma being closely related as well.[3]

It has been included in multiple phylogenetic studies.[3][4]

Lentinus crinitus appears to form a single mating group.[4] In fungi, a single mating group means that a species has one mating type, or that it is homothallic. This means that the species can mate with itself, or reproduce asexually.
