Descriptions
Pleurotus flabellatus sensu Massee 1899 [1898]
Fig. 10 The New Zealand collection (COLENSO b 652) differs in several features from the type (fig. 112 b), originally described from Ceylon. The most striking difference is in spore size: 6.5-8.5 X 3-3.5 µ (type), 8.5-11.5 X 4-4.5 µ (N.Z. specimen).
Pleurotus flabellatus sensu Massee 1899 [1898]
Pileus horizontal, often imbricated, thin and soft, white or more or less tinged reddish-brown, tomentose or downy, becoming glabrous, gradually narrowed behind into a somewhat slender stem-like base, and truly fan-shaped, margin sometimes irregularly lobed, 2-5 cm. long, 2-3 cm. broad; gills radiating from the narrowed base, decurrent, narrow, somewhat crowded,' margin entire; spores narrowly elliptical, and obliquely apiculate, 5-6 x 3.5 µ; cystidia fusiform, apex rather acute, and rough with particles of oxalate of lime.
Dannevirke, New Zealand. Ceylon, Australia, South Africa, Venezuela.
On dead wood.
Distinguished from Pleurotus colensoi and P. guilfoylei by the truly fan-shaped pileus, smaller spores, and the presence of large cystidia in the hymenium, which have the projecting portion covered with particles of oxalate of lime, as in Peniophora.
