Schizophyllum commune Fries is one of the most distributed lignicolous mushrooms in the world, and appreciated for its multiple uses. More than 300 hosts have been reported for it. In this paper, choya (Opuntia sp.) is reported for the first time for the American continent as a host of this mushroom. This discovery makes possible the use of organic waste of this plant as a culture substrate for this mushroom in the arid regions of Mexico.
