New Zealand Shiitake
Lentinula novae-zelandiae
10 cc/mL liquid culture
Lentinula novae-zelandiae is a distinctive Southern Hemisphere member of the genus Lentinula, native to New Zealand and notable for its separation from the better known Lentinula edodes. The specific epithet novae-zelandiae translates to “of New Zealand,” directly reflecting its geographic identity. Its placement within Lentinula makes it particularly relevant to the taxonomic history and diversity of the genus, while its occurrence in New Zealand represents a geographically isolated lineage within the group. The combination of its regional identity, relationship to shiitake, and comparatively uncommon presence in collections makes L. novae-zelandiae an especially distinctive taxon.
