    Beat up and old, but if you look closely you can see some of the "split" gills. Posted 5 years ago

        You are quite welcome. It is a widespread fungus, so it isn't surprising at all! The little fuzzy edges of the caps made me look closer, and those split gills are a giveaway! Posted 5 years ago

The Splitgill Mushroom

"Schizophyllum commune" is a species of fungus in the genus "Schizophyllum". The mushroom resembles undulating waves of tightly packed corals or a loose Chinese fan. Gillies or split-gills vary from creamy yellow to pale white in colour. The cap is small, 1–4 centimetres wide with a dense yet spongey body texture.
