Pleurotus sulciceps

A pleurotoid fungus with a furrowed cap, first described by Cooke and Massee and transferred to Pleurotus by Saccardo in 1891. The sources checked give no locality; many Cooke and Massee species of that time came from Australia and other British colonies. It has not been studied since.
