Classification
Descriptions
Pleurotus salignus sensu Massee 1899 [1898]
Pleurotus salignus (Persoon) (8,16) Fig. 24 = Pleurotus sp.
The cylindrical spores of this collection (COLENSO b 876) are distinctly smaller (7-9 X 3-3.5 µ) than those of typical P. salignus. At the same time all characters of this species differ from those of other Pleurotus species hitherto found in New Zealand.
Pleurotus salignus sensu Massee 1899 [1898]
Pileus horizontal, at length depressed and strigose behind, margin entire, incurved, pale yellowish-brown or dusky, 5-10 cm. across; gills horizontal, not distinctly decurrent, 3-6 mm. broad, distinct behind, branched midway between base and front, crowded, pale, dingy; margin often broken; spores dingy, elliptic-oblong, slightly curved, 8-10 x 3-5 µ; stem always very short, firm, downy or strigose.
Dannevirke, New Zealand. Australia, Europe, United States.
On rotten trunks, stumps, &c.
Not caespitose. Readily distinguished by the pileus being pulvinate when young, then becoming depressed and strigose, gills thinner and more crowded than usual in the genus, somewhat branching, not anastomosing behind dingy smoke-colour, as are also the spores (Fries).
