Austrolentinus is a fungal genus in the family Polyporaceae. Segregated from the genus Lentinus , it is monotypic, containing the single species Austrolentinus tenebrosus, which was first described by E.J.H. Corner in 1981 as Panus tenebrosus.[2] Austrolentinus was circumscribed by Norwegian mycologist Leif Ryvarden in 1991.[3] The fungus occurs in Queensland, Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea, and the Malay Peninsula.[4]
