Neolentinus cyathiformis, or the Goblet-shaped Neolentinus, is a rare and unique mushroom species belonging to the family Gloeophyllaceae. The cap of this mushroom is initially convex, becoming broadly convex to flat, and measures between 5-12 cm in diameter.
The cap surface is characterized by reddish-brown to dark brown colors and is covered with radial fibrils, which give it a somewhat shaggy appearance. The margin of the cap is often slightly incurved when young and becomes wavy with age.
The gills of N. cyathiformis are adnate to subdecurrent, pale cream in color, and moderately spaced, becoming darker as the mushroom matures.
The stipe of the Goblet-shaped Neolentinus is central, cylindrical, and measures 4-10 cm in length and 1-2.5 cm in diameter. It is often slightly enlarged at the base and is colored pale cream to light brown.
Neolentinus cyathiformis is a wood-decay fungus, primarily found on the deadwood of coniferous trees, especially pines.
This species has a scattered distribution and has been reported in Europe, North America, and Asia.
The fruiting bodies of N. cyathiformis can be found from late summer to autumn.
The spores of this mushroom are ellipsoid, hyaline, and measure 5-7 x 2.5-3.5 micrometers.
While the edibility of Neolentinus cyathiformis is unknown, it is not considered a choice edible species due to its rarity and ecological importance in breaking down deadwood.
Neolentinus cyathiformis is closely related to Neolentinus lepideus, a species that differs mainly in having a more leathery and less shaggy cap surface.
The mushroom is called Goblet-shaped Neolentinus due to the shape of its fruiting body, resembling a goblet or chalice.
