Pleurotus purpureo-olivaceus is a gilled fungus native to Australia and New Zealand. It is found on dead wood of "Nothofagus" trees. 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".
The caps of the fruit bodies are up to wide, and are dark violet to brown to olive to yellow-green, depending on light exposure. Stipes are lateral and white to yellow.
