Notes.

This species is one of the most widely distributed in the genus Panus, which was originally described as Lentinus strigosus Fr. (Fries 1825) in North Carolina, USA and was transferred to Panus by Drechsler-Santos et al. (2012). Due to its densely villous to hispid-strigose pileus, this species is often confused with P. similis complex. However, it can be distinguished from the complex by its metuloids.
