Neolentinus lepideus Scally Sawgill
This large, often white, very tough and thick fleshed conifer loving agaric, is found mainly on stumps 2 -3 years after felling. They occur singly or in small tufted groups. When on the top of stumps they tend to be dome-shaped with a centrally disposed, stout, cylindrical, scally stem.
Fruit bodies emerging from the side of the trunk are flattened and depressed with an excentric stubby, stout, scally stem. The upper surface is coarsely scally, the margin tends to be inrolled, and the major axis can reach 120 mm.
The flesh is a pale shade of cream.
The gills are fairly well spaced, broad, white to ochraceous, with a coarsely toothed edge and may run down the stem to the ring zone.
The spore print is white. The translucent, smooth spores are elongated ellipsoid to cylindrical.
