About Schizophyllum amplum (Lév.) Nakasone
Schizophyllum amplum, commonly called poplar bells, is a species of fungus. It is a small, inedible, bell-shaped fungus that grows from September through November. Its cap measures between 5–15 mm across. This fungus grows on fallen branches of a variety of hardwood trees. In 1996, Karen K. Nakasone transferred it to the genus Schizophyllum as a new combination, after a study of Auriculariopsis albomellea and Phlebia albida. It is common in Europe, but found across the world, including in the United States, Netherlands, France, Spain, Romania, New Zealand, Canada, Austria, Germany, Hungary, Yugoslavia, Russia, Iran and Denmark.
