Description: Somewhat gelatinous pleurotoid fungi with characters like those of the preceding genus [resupinatus], but with metuloids which are very abundant and pseudoamyloid.

Notes: Sparobes on dead wood. Medium to large, fleshy mushrooms with a short lateral stipe or no stipe. Pleurotus-like, but with gelatinous tissue beneath the pileipellis.
Eight species have been reported from New Zealand, only those listed below have descriptions or images available from NZFungi.

Notes: Fleshy fungi attached to the substrate directly from the side of the cap, or through a short stalk at one side of the cap, cap smooth, spore print white.
Saprobic
Eight species of Hohenbuehelia have been reported for New Zealand, but most are poorly understood taxonomically.
Three common superficially similar New Zealand genera share these features. Pleurotus has a soft cap with easily broken flesh. Pleurotopsis and Hohenbuehelia have a gelatinous layer beneath the surface of the cap, making the flesh difficult to break. All saprobic. Conchomyces has a similar habit, but no images are available for this genus. It is distinguished by the spore walls covered by conspicuous, conical spines.
