''Lenzites warnieri'' is a species of fungus in the family Polyporaceae found in parts of Europe, Asia, and northern Africa. The species is a white rot pathogen on living wood. Its corky fruiting bodies in the shape of semicircular plates form on the trunks of several types of deciduous trees growing near water bodies in regions of moist sub-Mediterranean climate. The fruiting body, which has a lamellar fruit layer, produces spores only once. Michel Durieu de Maisonneuve and Camille Montagne classified ''Lenzites warnieri'' in 1860, on the basis of a find from northern Algeria. ''Lenzites warnieri'' is closely related to various species of the genus ''Trametes'', but their exact taxonomic positions are to date unresolved. == Taxonomy == ''Lenzites warnieri'' was first described in 1860 by Michel Durieu de Maisonneuve and Camille Montagne. The type specimen came from Algeria, where Durieu and Montagne collected it from the trunk of an elm on the grounds of the retirement home of the French physician and politician Auguste Warnier. The specific epithet ''warnieri'' honors him. The initial description was first published in ''Annales de Sciences Naturelles (Botanique)'', although the description had appeared in ''Mémoires de la Société Linnéenne de Bordeaux'' at the desire of Durieu.〔 Because of ambiguities in the identification and species distinction, ''Lenzites reichardtii'' Schulz. 1880 was for a long time considered a valid name for ''L. warnieri'' in Europe, although its type was much smaller than the one by Durieu und Montagne. At the end of the 20th century, both names were regarded synonyms. A possible conspecifity with ''Daedalea quercina'' was long discussed by scientists,〔 such as Giacomo Bresadola, who thought ''L. warnieri'' was synonymous with ''Daedalea quercina'', a view adopted in 1940 by Albert Pilát, who named ''L. warnieri'' as ''Daedalea quercina'' f. ''lenzitoidea''.〔 Unlike ''L. warnieri'', ''Daedalea quercina'' has a maze-like hymenophore, causes brown rot, and infests only oaks.〔 In a 1967 mating study, Alix David proved that the fungi are separate species.〔 ''Lenzites warnieri'' is today classified into the genus ''Lenzites'', which is closely related to the genus ''Trametes'' as was initially supposed and later demonstrated through DNA analysis. DNA analysis suggests that the more common ''Lenzites'' species ''Lenzites betulina'' is genetically closer to a species of ''Trametes'' than to ''L. warnierii''.〔 The relationship between ''Lenzites'' and ''Trametes'' is unclear.〔〔 The authors of one DNA study published in 2011 suggested that ''Lenzites'' should be considered a synonym of ''Trametes'', together with the genera ''Artolenzites'', ''Coriolopsis'', ''Coriolus'', ''Cubamyces'', ''Cyclomycetella'', ''Poronidulus'', ''Pseudotrametes'' and ''Pycnoporus''.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lenzites warnieri」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
