Abstract: Combining results of Wahl, Galatius--Madsen--Tillmann--Weiss and Korkmaz one can identify the homotopy-type of the classifying space of the stable non-orientable mapping class group Ninfty (after plus-construction). At odd primes p, the F_p-homology coincides with that of Q0(HPinfty+), but at the prime 2 the result is less clear. We identify the F_2-homology as a Hopf algebra in terms of the homology of well-known spaces. As an application we tabulate the integral stable homology of Ninfty in degrees up to six. As in the oriented case, not all of these cohomology classes have a geometric interpretation. We determine a polynomial subalgebra of H(Ninfty;F2) consisting of geometrically-defined characteristic classes.
