• Question

  Which is correct? Pleurotus ostreatus 'florida' or Pleurotus florida.

  Answer

  ayshiree9, some research suggests that Pleurotus ostreatus and P. florida are the same species. Therefore, both entities would be referred to as Pleurotus ostreatus, with no mention of P. florida. See http://mic.sgmjournals.org/content/146/1/209.long for discussion. Best wishes.
