Description:
S. commune is a type of fungus known as a basidiomycete, and it completes its life cycle in just 10 days. This fungus is a saprophyte, meaning it grows on dead wood, either by itself or in groups. The texture of the mushroom is tough and fuzzy, feeling hairy to the touch, and it becomes slippery when wet.
The fruiting body of S. commune is about 1-5 cm wide and has a fan-like. From above, it looks like a small white shelf fungus with gill-like folds that are split in the middle. In its early stages, the fruiting body has small stalks (called stipes), but as it matures, it loses these stalks. The cap of the mushroom is a greyish white col-our, while the gills can appear pale reddish or grey.
