Pleurotus nepalensis

A pleurotoid agaric described by E.J.H. Corner in 1955 in a paper on fungi from Nepal. Nothing beyond the original description is readily available, and GBIF holds no usable wild records. The conditions below are inferred for a Himalayan wood-rotting oyster and are not tested in cultivation.

Where it grows wild

Genus-level inference: on dead wood in Himalayan forest, like other Pleurotus.

Unknown; Nepalese forests span roughly 500–3500 m, so a warm-temperate montane climate is assumed.

🔒 Growing it like that

The wild conditions above, turned into targets for a shelf, a tent or a greenhouse. The full profile has:

✓ Day and night temperature targets, and the limits it tolerates
✓ Humidity band, and how to hold it
✓ Light as DLI and PPFD for a grow light
✓ Wet and dry seasons, and whether to rest it
✓ Substrate and airflow
✓ A step-by-step setup to grow it like the wild
