Lentinellus cochleatus, commonly known as the aniseed cockleshell, is a wood-inhabiting fungus.

The tan cap grows up to 10 centimetres (4 in) wide,[1] often with a darker margin and depressed in the center.

[3] Similar species include Lentinellus micheneri and Crepidotus nyssicola.

[2] It is widespready in Britain and the rest of Europe, on broadleaf wood, from July to December.

[1] Some consider all members of the genus inedible due to their bitterness,[4] but one guide suggests that it is good cooked or dried as a seasoning.
