Pleurotus yuccae

A Pleurotus described by Maire in 1919 from Algeria. The name points to dead Yucca stems, presumably of planted yuccas. There are only two GBIF records: one at Algiers, and one in Costa Rica that is probably a different fungus.

Where it grows wild

Presumably a decomposer of dead Yucca and similar monocot stems in gardens and scrub on the Mediterranean coast.

The Algiers record is at sea level; the Costa Rican record is at about 1,200 m.
