Resumen:
Specimens belonging to the genus Pleurotus were collected growing on living trees of Araucaria araucana in Patagonia, Argentina. Fruitbodies were produced in culture on sawdust from the strain isolated. Interspecific pairing tests were undertaken among mating types from Pleurotus from Patagonia and test strains of P. pulmonarius and P. ostreatus. The results showed that the former strain was 100 % compatible with P. ostreatus and incompatible with the other tested species. Hybrids obtained on sawdust were fertile, since they were able to produce fruitbodies and spores. This is the first record of P. ostreatus from Argentina.
