heal.abstract	The anatomical, physiological, ecological and cultural characters of 11 Pleurotus morphotaxa reported to occur in Europe are described in detail and compared with the outcome of a pairing-analysis performed among monokaryons of 101 dikaryotic strains (including collections from other continents). The results revealed eight intersterility groups in Europe: P. ostreatus, P. pulmonarius, P. cornucopiae, P. eryngii, P. cystidiosus, P. dryinus, P. calyptratus and P. opuntiae. In addition, strains formerly identified as 'P. sajor-caju' were found to be intercompatible with P. pulmonarius, while the speciation process currently under way for P. columbinus, P. citrinopileatus and the ecotypes of P. eryngii is discussed. A synthesis of the data obtained so far on Pleurotus systematics is evaluated in the light of recent evidence together with the world distribution of the recognized biological species of the genus.	en
