Pleurotus abscondens

An old North American oyster-type name based on a Peck species from New York, transferred to Pleurotus by Saccardo in 1887. It is known only from a few herbarium collections from New York, Vermont and Pennsylvania made in September and October; its current taxonomic status and substrate are not documented in the sources seen.
