Pleurotus abieticola is an edible[1] species of fungus in the family Pleurotaceae, described as new to science by mycologists R.H. Petersen & K.W. Hughes in 1997. It grows on rotten wood of Picea in subalpine forests dominated by it. It has been reported first in far‐eastern Russia (Sikhote-Alin Nature Reserve), and then northeastern China (Songjianghe and Baihe in Jilin) and northwestern Russia (north of Saint Petersburg).[1] It can be cultivated.[2] Phylogenetic research has shown that while it belongs to P. ostreatus clade, it forms its own intersterility group.[3]
