Found in my Beach Cabana Roof in the Yucatan
    #18811058 - 09/07/13 10:11 AM (10 years, 5 months ago)

I haven't done one of these before, and I am not sure how to answer some of the questions, so please provide some advice on that as needed below. 

I have little experience with shrooms as they grow--most of my exposure has been to shrooms that have been processed and used as an ingredient in edible chocolate.

Habitat:

I found this growing between one of the logs and the thatched roof in my beach cabana in the Yucatan, Mexico.  See photos. 







Gills:

The gills are really small--I can't see the details with my naked eye and I don't have a magnifying glass with me. 

Stem:
The stem is about 1.25 inches long, and very stringy.  It is brownish and very thin--flat pretty much.  The width is about 3/16 of an inch. 

Although, on further inspection, it appears as if this "stem" may be a part of the roof thatching that the mushroom has grown around.  Not sure there is a stem. 

Cap:
The cap is about 2 inches diameter, and very wrinkled.  The side the stem comes from is striped from very creamy-colored stripes to brown. 

The other side of the cap contains the same colors, but they are more like a water-color wash than defined stripes. 

The cap is thin and spongy. 

Spore print color:

I am attempting to make a spore print and will edit this when and if I am successful. 

Bruising:

Does not seem to bruise. 

Other information:

This mushroom smells a lot like a mushroom you'd buy in a store and use in a salad.

Maybe a Stereum species.

I think you are correct.  Based on your information I googled and found a picture of Stereum hirsutum.  Looks just like it.  No food or recreation value, it appears. 

Thank you!

Not with that texture on the underside.  I would go with Hexagonia for this collection.  Hexagonia species are common in tropical areas such as the Yucatan.
