Caps, gills below, no stem & usually on wood [stemless mushrooms & the like]


 

The fruitbodies of most of the species in this group grow from wood, but sometimes that wood may be buried (e.g. dead roots). Some examples of fruitbody attachment are:

 

     Cap roughly semicircular and attached to wood along the cap’s diameter.

     Cap more-or-less circular but tapering to a narrow attachment point.

     Cap on the underside of dead wood and attached by its top.

     Cap like an upside-down cup, with the edge of the cup attached to wood.

The fusing on the gills look very like those of a Pseudomerulius sp.

Schizophyllum commune

I don't think the surface looks furry enough for a Schizophyllum. Neither is it grey(ish) nor lobed. I'd guess this is a partially dried Crepidotus.

Need to seen the undersurface if possible.
At first glance my suggestion is Schizophyllum commune which has split gills, a feature not apparent in this image, Stereum has a smoothish undersurface
