Pleurotus novae-zelandiae is a species of fungus in the genus Pleurotus first described by Miles Joseph Berkeley in 1855, endemic to New Zealand. [1]
Description
General
- The cap is hygrophanous, subgelatinous, white, fan-shaped, reniform, 6–8 cm. broad, 3–4 cm. long;
- The stem is obsolete but the mushroom is attached by a narrowed base which forms a little round disc,
- The gills are broad, distant, thin, interstices veiny. [1]
Neither Greta Stevenson (1964) nor Egon Horak (1971) could trace material of P. novae-zelandiae, and according to Barbara P. Segedin its description by Berkeley from 1855 would indicate it to be a species of Marasmiellus or Resupinatus. [2] Nevertheless, it is still an accepted species. [3]
Distribution, habitat & ecology
This mushroom is saprobic on dead wood, present on North Island, of New Zealand. [1]
