Schizophyllum commune
Very plentiful in this patch of woods. This is one of the most attractive fungi in my opinion, and a very interesting one too! It has 23,328 mating types. They are saprobes (wood decomposers) or occasionally parasites of living trees.
On several branches and twigs in a hardwood forest.

Thanks armadeus. That is pretty funny. I can't look at it without seeing a frog now.
Very cool series Machi! I love pic 4, the little bowl shape with water drops looks like an astonished frog :D
