Pleurotus australis, the brown oyster mushroom, is a gilled fungus native to Australia and New Zealand. [2] It is found on dead wood, particularly mānuka and ngāhere.[2] Although morphologically similar to some other Pleurotus fungi, it has been shown to be a distinct species incapable of cross-breeding.[3][4]
