Schizophyllum commune
White cap hairy fungi with brown gills
Growing in full shade on live unknown tree about 2 meters up where the bark is split
For about 3 weeks (since our 10hr power outage), the sprinklers have been coming on at 10pm, keeping the yard wet far longer than usual. Since then, we've had a lot of mushrooms pop up but they don't last long since it's hot during the day. This spotting looks a bit shriveled up.

Thank you Alex!
confirm for you. it looks as if you're right with the id. and they seem to begin to dry out, but this fungi, rolls then the caps in, and when water/rain comes back, it will open again.
This ID is tentative until someone can confirm or dispute it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
I'm terrible at mushrooms but am thinking this is Schizophyllum commune. http://www.mykoweb.com/CAF/species/Schiz...
