Gymnopilus penetrans
Cap 4 to 8cm across; becoming flatter and sometimes developing a shallow central depression, caps of the Common Rustgill are silky smooth or occasionally felty but not breaking up into scales; various shades of fiery orange-brown, lighter at the margin. Gills Adnate and crowded, the gills of Gymnopilus penetrans are initially yellow, soon turning reddish-brown with rusty-brown spots. Stem 4 to 7cm long and 0.6 to 1.2cm in dia.; yellowish, becoming flushed orange-brown; with fine longitudinal fibres; no ring. Spore print Rusty orange-brown
Most of the rustgills seen in pine forests and other coniferous plantations are Common Rustgills, and they seem to like one another’s company: find one and you are likely to spot dozens more nearby. They grow on rotting stumps, fallen branches and the forest floor where conifer debris has become buried beneath needle litter. Sawdust or wood chippings provide an equally acceptable fare for these fiery fungi. Very common in Britain and Ireland as well as throughout mainland Europe. This species is also reported from North America.
