Pleurotus caespitosoterrestris

A Hennings species treated by Pilát among European oysters; the name means 'tufted, on the ground', suggesting clusters rising from buried wood. Little is known beyond the original description, and the name has not been re-examined with modern methods; it may be a synonym of a better-known oyster.
