Pleurotus colensoi Berk. 1899 [1898]

Solitary, or more or less imbricated. Pileus sessile, horizontal, thin, entirely white, rather soft, almost or often quite even and glabrous, margin entire or slightly lobed, spreading, reniform or semicircular, 3-6 cm. broad; gills radiating from the point of attachment, rather broad and crowded, thin ; spores white, smooth, subglobose, 7-8 x 6 µ.
Dannevirke, Nelson, New Zealand.
On logs, &c.
Apparently a common species in New Zealand, having been sent on four different occasions by Colenso ; also sent from Nelson by Dall. This species may possibly have been described somewhere by Berkeley, but I have not been able to find the account. Distinguished by thin substance and entirely white colour. Pleurotus guilfoylei somewhat resembles the present species, but differs in having the pileus tomentose behind and the margin persistently incurved.
