S. commune is, in fact, edible and apparently widely consumed in Mexico, although by European/US standards, it is of little culinary interest due to its tough texture. For more information, see Ruán-Soto et al., "Process and dynamics of traditional selling of wild edible mushrooms in tropical Mexico". Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine, 2(3), 2006. The authors explain the preference for tough, rubbery mushrooms in the tropics as a consequence of the fact that tender, fleshy mushrooms quickly rot in the hot humid conditions there, making their marketing problematic.

Under edibility you have 2 references 8 and 3 that both talk about the spores causing disease. This has NOTHING to do with edibility. It is the same as black mould causing disease of the lungs. Actually any spore from any mushroom can grow in the lungs and cause disease
I have removed the conflation between sex and mating type in this article. The provided reference (doi:10.1006/fgbi.1999.1129) does not assert that Schizophyllum commune has 23,328 sexes. Please let me know if this was in error.
