Taxonomic Considerations: Shi<strong>it</strong>ake mushrooms were originally described as Agaricus edodes by<br />

Berkeley in 1877. Thereupon the mushroom has been variously placed in the Genera Collybia,<br />

Armillaria, Lepiota, Pleurotus and Lentinus. Most cultivators are familiar w<strong>it</strong>h Shi<strong>it</strong>ake as Lentinus<br />

edodes (Berk.) Singer. Shi<strong>it</strong>ake has recently been moved to the Genus Lentinula by Pegler<br />

The Genus Lentinula was originally conceived by Earle in the early 1900's and resurrected by<br />

Pegler in the 1970's to better define members formerly placed in Lentinus. Both genera are characterized<br />

by wh<strong>it</strong>e spores, centrally to eccentrically attached stems, gill edges which are often serrated,<br />

and a distinct preference for woodland environments. The genera differ primarily in microscopic features.<br />

The Genus Lentinulais monom<strong>it</strong>ic, i.e. lacking dim<strong>it</strong>ic hyphae in the flesh, and have cells fairly<br />

parallel and descending in their arrangement w<strong>it</strong>hin the gill trama. Members in the Genus Lentinus<br />

have a flesh composed of dim<strong>it</strong>ic hyphae and have highly irregular or interwoven cells in the gill<br />

trama.<br />
