The Beautiful Ringless Honey Mushroom Is Common After Autumn Rains

FOTD #105 : split gill! (schizophyllum commune)
the split gill (also gillies) is a pathogenic fungus in the family schizophyllaceae. it often grows on decaying trees & can be spotted all around the world.

s. commune description :
"the cream-brown to pale white caps are 1–4 centimetres (3⁄8–1+5⁄8 in) wide with white or greyish hairs along the rims."
