Split Gill
Schizophyllum commune. A white rotter of woody debris, digesting mostly lignin rather than cellulose. Similar in appearance to oyster mushrooms but far smaller and more gregarious, generally. The gills are very large in proportion to the rest of the mushroom, and look like they have been "split". Schizophyllaceae. Frederick Co, MD. Buckeystown Quad, Sugarloaf Mtn along blue trail north of the overlook.
