Pleurotus ostreatus has two parts: sclerotia and fruiting body. Sclerotinia is born underground or between trees, with a diameter of 10 cm ~ 25 cm, spherical, oval or spindle-shaped, solid, white inside and dark outside. Fruit bodies grow from sclerotia, solitary or clustered.
After the mycelium of Pleurotus ostreatus is soaked in wood or stumps, the wood decays, and sclerotia with a circumference of 10 cm ~ 30 cm is formed in the ground, in the wood or between the roots. Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is an organ for vegetative storage and dormancy of Pleurotus ostreatus, and it is also an organ for asexual reproduction. When sclerotia is placed in a warm and humid place, funnel-shaped fruiting bodies will be produced one after another.
