Schizophyllum commune Fr. 1815

Fructifications of this fungus are common throughout New Zealand on indigenous and introduced trees and shrubs. Birch (1937b) recorded it as a wound pathogen of Sophora microphylla, and Taylor and Atkinson (1941) recorded it as a wound pathogen on apple trees in a neglected orchard in Huapai, Auckland.

Schizophyllum commune Fr. 1815

Type: Lignicolous Fungi; Description: Basidiomata solitary or with a few or many overlapping pilei, leathery, sessile or attached by a lateral extension of the margin which may at times form a stipe-like base. Pilei fan-shaped, 10–60 mm wide. Pileus surface villose, the hairs matted, fawn at first, grey when old, margin varying from scalloped to incised to deeply cleft. Gills widely spaced, divided, radiate, pinkish fawn to dark grey. Context brownish, up to 0.7 mm thick. Basidiospores narrowly oblong to cylindrical, 4–8 × 2–3 μm, smooth, hyaline.
Distribution: Northland, Auckland, Coromandel, Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Taranaki, Taupo, Wanganui, Wellington, Gisborne, Hawkes Bay, Wairarapa, Nelson, Buller, Westland, Kaikoura, North Canterbury, Mid Canterbury, Central Otago, Southland.; 1st Record: Berkeley (1855).
Significance: Recorded as a wound parasite of Sophora microphylla, causing heart rot and penetrating into heartwood through dead branches (Birch 1937). The cause of cankers in apple trees, gaining entry through large pruning wounds (Taylor & Atkinson 1941). Very common on stumps and logging debris throughout New Zealand.; Host(s): Malus ×domestica, Sophora microphylla.
Horak, E. 1971: A contribution towards the revision of the Agaricales (Fungi) from New Zealand. New Zealand Journal of Botany 9(3): 403-462.

Schizophyllum commune Fr. 1815

Quite common throughout the country.
Massee, G.E. 1899: The fungus flora of New Zealand. Transactions and Proceedings of the New Zealand Institute 31: 282–349.

Schizophyllum commune Fr. 1815

Pileus very thin, dry, sessile, resupinate or usually attached laterally and spreading like a fan, entire or variously lobed; pileus tomentose, greyish, 1-6 cm. broad; gills radiating from the point of attachment, forking, narrow, dry, splitting along the edge, split surfaces minutely downy, grey, then tinged purplish-brown; spores hyaline, elliptical, apiculate, 5-6 x 4 µ.
On trunks, branches, and worked wood.
ommon in New Zealand, and very general in tropical and subtropical regions, becoming rare in colder regions. Very variable, sometimes resupinate and almost entire, usually lateral and spreading from the point of attachment in a fan-like manner. Sometimes cut into deep narrow lobes.
Stevenson, G. 1964: The Agaricales of New Zealand: V. Kew Bulletin 19(1): 1-59.

Schizophyllum commune Fr. 1815

Is common throughout New Zealand on fallen wood of indigenous and exotic trees.
