description Lentinus tigrinus Overview
Lentinus tigrinus is a wood-decaying agaric known as the tiger sawgill. It forms tough, pale to brown fruiting bodies with dark scales on the cap and gills on the underside, usually from submerged, waterlogged, or fallen hardwood near streams, rivers, and floodplains. The species is widely distributed in temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, and young specimens have been reported as edible, though the mature flesh becomes hard.
