Pleurotus cystidiosus, also known as abalone mushroom and maple oyster mushroom, is an edible [9] species of fungus in the family Pleurotaceae, described as new to science by mycologist Orson K. Miller Jr. in 1969. [1] It can be cultivated, with spores and growing kits being available commercially. Antromycopsis macrocarpa (or A. broussonetiae) is the anamorphic form of this species. [10]
