Gymnopilus aurantiophyllus is a species of mushroom-forming saprotrophic fungus in the family Hymenogastraceae.
Description
The cap is 4 to 8 cm (1.6 to 3.1 in) in diameter.[1] The caps are a bright yellow orange or ochre.[2] (Part of the binomial name comes from aurantius which is Latin for, more or less, orange.) The gills are "narrowly attached with a distinct notch."[2] Gymnopilus aurantiophyllus has a distinctly bitter taste and is not recommended for eating.[2]
Habitat and distribution
Gymnopilus aurantiophyllus has been found growing in clumps on sawdust, in Oregon, in November.[1] It is found in pine forests and on decaying lignin-rich substrates like wood chips or old stumps.[2] Distribution of this species appears to be primarily the Pacific coast of North America, and it seems to be most frequently observed in the months of December and January.[3]
