abstract = { We describe the first species of Lentinula from Africa, Lentinula madagasikarensis sp. nov. The new taxon,
which was collected from central Madagascar, is strikingly similar to L. edodes, the shiitake mushroom. A BLAST search
using ITS sequences from L. madagasikarensis as the query retrieves a mix of Lentinula, Gymnopus, Marasmiellus, and
other members of Omphalotaceae as the top hits. A 28S phylogeny of the Omphalotaceae confirms placement of L.
madagasikarensis within Lentinula. An ITS phylogeny places L. madagasikarensis as the sister group of L. aciculospora,
which is a neotropical species. Lentinula madagasikarensis is characterized by robust basidiomata with vinaceous pilei,
prominent floccose scales near the pileus margin, florets of sphaeropedunculate cheilocystidia, and subcylindrical
basidiospores. This report constitutes a 4 000-mile, trans-oceanic range extension for Lentinula.}
