Schizophyllum commune

Split Gill

 

Underside nicely shots the split gills from which the common name derives. The one in the center is about 1cm in diameter. A couple months ago I cut down a good sized Gleditsia aquatica, Water Locust, and the resulting brush pile has become home to lots of this little fuzzy fungi and all sorts of other "stuff" that I hope to photograph as I get to it.

 

According to wikipedia this is the world's most widely distributed mushroom.
