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.

the big question : can i bite it?? the answer is complex, but the general consensus is that it is inedible. it absorbs moisture, so it can expand during digestion. some still eat it !!

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."

Splitgill mushroom, Schizophyllum commune, is a very interesting little mushroom. They're found all over the world and, despite their tough texture, are sometimes eaten in tropical areas, especially in parts of Mexico. Despite their pretty appearance and edibility, they're also one of the more dangerous mushrooms in an unexpected way: They can infect human bodies, especially the lungs. Although there are fungal spores everywhere and breathing some is unavoidable, it's best not to bring these too close to your face (unless well cooked) to avoid breathing their spores as much as possible. I'd personally avoid collecting them, just to be careful!

✨the Gender Chaos Mushrooms are here, and they're gorgeous!!!✨

Inspired by the mushroom Schizophyllum commune and its tens of thousands of possible reproductive permutations, which are often colloquially referred to as either the sex or gender of the fungi. This is an organism that has no time for the futile enforcement of a gender binary! Whatever assumptions you make about my gender based on appearances is a you problem, buddy.

Professionally printed (by the phenomenal stickerorchard) on a holographic foil with a glitter finish, this sticker is sure to add some pizzazz to your day! They have been listed on my BuyMeACoffee page (with a $2 discount for members!)
