Schizophyllum commune or more commonly known as "fan mushroom" is a species of fungus that attracts attention because of its unique shape. As far as I know, this fungus is easy to find in various regions of the world, especially in tropical and subtropical areas. , one of the parts that characterizes this mushroom is the mushroom cap which resembles a fan with a folded surface and the sides of the mushroom cap are serrated, giving it a very striking appearance.
Apart from the fan-like shape of the hood, another part that makes this fungus unique is the ability of Schizophyllum commune to grow on various organic materials, such as wood residue, coconut fronds and rotting leaves. Like other fungi in general, the Schizophyllum commune fungus also has an important role in the ecosystem as a decomposer of organic material, known as the decomposition process, this role helps break down various organic materials to improve the fertility of the soil around the mushrooms, even though they grow naturally in the wild, their existence is always beneficial to the universe as guardians of the balance of soil fertility.
on the other hand, Schizophyllum commune also has a unique ability to reproduce, Schizophyllum commune has the ability to reproduce sexually and asexually through a spore structure that can spread easily, research by medical experts also shows amazing results where the Schizophyllum commune fungus has potential for medical purposes , this is because the Schizophyllum commune mushroom contains anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. By understanding the Schizophyllum commune mushroom more closely, it can be concluded that Schizophyllum commune is not just an ordinary mushroom, but the author is very confident that this mushroom has various potentials that are very beneficial for human life. Hopefully someone out there will start doing more research on this fungus, especially those who enjoy doing science in the @stemsocial community.
