In a study the mushroom species, this species was shown to have hemagglutinins. The species showed activity towards rat erythrocytes while Lentinus squarrosulus showed activity towards guinea pig and mouse erythrocytes. The agglutination of both species showed that both extracts have more than one hemagglutinin.[1]
