Lentaria is a genus of fungi in the family Lentariaceae. The genus has a widespread distribution and contains 17 species.[1] It was circumscribed by British mycologist Edred John Henry Corner in 1950.[2]
Many members are important decomposers in forest ecosystems. Samples of the genus were collected in China and studies using molecular and morphological methods. Five of the species collected were described as new species
