Observation: Plicatura crispa (Pers.) Rea (7685)

Alternative Name: Plicaturopsis crispa (Pers.: Fr.) Reid.
When: 2008-06-02
Collection location: Edgewood Blue, British Columbia, Canada [Click for map]
Who: Jason Hollinger (pellaea)
Herbarium specimen available

Notes: Small projecting caps, on dead alder limb. Tan and shaggy-hairy above, pale beige with broad shallow veined wrinkles below. Definitely not a gilled mushroom. Merulius, maybe? Spores are clear under LM, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re white in deposit, I guess. They are very soft and flexible, drying to almost nothing.

Summary: Split gill

I agree with Tom. The fruitings appear to have been around for a while.

Summary: Schizophyllum?

It looks like possibly an old Schizophyllum commune to me. Are those “gills” in pairs?
