Pleurotus applicatus sensu Massee 1899 [1898]

In spite of sterile fruiting bodies (N.Z., 1866, 6282) there is no doubt that this collection belongs to Resupinatus, a genus represented in N.Z. by at least two species.

Pleurotus applicatus sensu Massee 1899 [1898]

Pileus saucer-shaped and orbicular when young, usually sessile and fixed by the downy base, rarely furnished with a very short rudimentary stem, when adult more or less reflexed, slightly fleshy, striate when moist, minutely pruinose when young, then glabrous or downy, 4-8 mm. across; colour variable, blackish-blue, ashy-grey, or dark-grey; gills radiating from a central or- excentric point, scanty, rather thick, broad, distant, grey, the margin usually whitish; spores globose, 4-5 µ diameter.
New Zealand. Australia, Tasmania, Europe, Siberia, United States, Cuba, Argentine Republic, Island of Juan Fernandez.
On rotten wood.
Distinguished by the minute species, by the dingy colour of the pileus, grey gills, and by the resupinate habit, having the gills uppermost, and the pileus resting on the substratum.
