Split Gill
Split Gill is common on rotting wood of dead trees and is found worldwide. It occurs in colonies and appears somewhat like a small shelf fungus with a grooved upper surface and hairy margins. This inedible mushroom has gills that split when it dries out, hence the common name. Photo by Laurel Woodley
