Gymnopilus?

Not sure - I don't have much experience with these as they don't seem common in this area. Not on wood, but in a heavily wood chipped area.

I think it looks like Gymnopilus too, but I'm not sure which species. Posted one year ago

  Maybe this one? Although, it seems to grow mostly on conifers.

    I was looking at that one too. I'm not sure if/how many lookalikes it might have here though... Posted one year ago

        Mushroom Expert says that penetrans and sapineus may well be the same organism... Posted one year ago

        Mushroom taxonomy is never simple. ;P Posted one year ago

The Scaly Rustgill

"Gymnopilus sapineus", commonly known as Scaly Rustgill, is a small and widely distributed mushroom which grows in dense clusters on dead conifer wood. It has a rusty orange spore print and a bitter taste. It is unclear at this time whether or not this species or its relatives contain the hallucinogen psilocybin.
