Pleurotus purpureo-olivaceus is a gilled fungus native to Australia and New Zealand.[1][4][5][6] It is found on dead wood of Nothofagus trees.[2][7] Although morphologically similar to some other Pleurotus fungi, it has been shown to be a distinct species incapable of cross-breeding and phylogenetically removed from other species of Pleurotus.[1][8]
