Pleurotus australis Sacc.
Pleurotus australis, the brown oyster mushroom, is a distinct native gilled fungus of Australia and New Zealand that grows on dead wood.
Pleurotus australis, commonly called the brown oyster mushroom, is a gilled fungus native to Australia and New Zealand. This species grows on dead wood, especially the dead wood of mānuka and ngāhere trees. While it looks very similar in physical form to other species in the Pleurotus genus, genetic and breeding studies confirm it is a separate species that cannot cross-breed with those related fungi.
