Schizophyllum amplum is a species of fungus,[2] also known as poplar bells.[1] It is a small inedible bell-shaped fungus that grows from September until November, with a cap sized between 5–15 mm.[3] The fungus grows on fallen branches of a number of hardwood trees.[3] It was transferred to the genus Schizophyllum in 1996 by Karen K. Nakasone as a new combination after a study of Auriculariopsis albomellea and Phlebia albida .[4]

It is common in Europe but found across the world including the United States, Netherlands, France, Spain, Romania, New Zealand, Canada, Austria, Germany, Hungary, Yugoslavia, Russia, Iran and Denmark.[4]
