Pleurotus purpureo-olivaceus is a gilled fungus native to Australia and New Zealand. [1] [4] [5] [6] It is found on dead wood of Nothofagus trees. [3] [7] Although morphologically similar to some other Pleurotus fungi, it has been shown to be a distinct species incapable of cross-breeding and phylogenetically removed from other species of Pleurotus . [1] [8]

The caps of the fruit bodies are up to 7 cm (2.8 in) wide, [9] and are dark violet to brown to olive to yellow-green, depending on light exposure. Stipes are lateral and white to yellow. [3] [7]
